Injectable exosome-functionalized extracellular matrix hydrogel for metabolism balance and pyroptosis regulation in intervertebral disc degeneration

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2021
Exosome therapy is a promising therapeutic approach for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and achieves its therapeutic effects by regulating metabolic disorders, the microenvironment and cell homeostasis with the sustained release of microRNAs ...

Structural Interface Engineering Unlocks Native‐Like Mechanics in Biomimetic Intervertebral Discs

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Engineered interlamellar and radial fibrous interfaces enable biomimetic intervertebral disc constructs to replicate native mechanical behavior. Suture‐reinforced laminates enhance cohesion and shear strength, while radial fibers improve compressive resilience and stress redistribution.

A comparison of interferential current efficacy in elderly intervertebral disc degeneration patients with or without sarcopenia: a retrospective study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration and sarcopenia are both age-related diseases without effective treatments. Their comorbidities may worsen the prognosis, and further studies on interaction and therapy are needed.

Small molecule-based treatment approaches for intervertebral disc degeneration: Current options and future directions

Theranostics, 2021
Low back pain (LBP) is a major reason for disability, and symptomatic intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) contributes to roughly 40% of all LBP cases.

Inhibition of Hypersialylation in Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Modulates Inflammation and Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glycosylation, specifically hypersialylation, is identified as a critical factor in human intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration—a major cause of low back pain. This study demonstrates that inhibiting sialylation reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in IVD tissues, suggesting new therapeutic possibilities.

Pathologic Features of the Intervertebral Disc in Young Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers Confirms Chondrodystrophy Degenerative Phenotype Associated With Genotype. [PDF]

, 2019
Chondrodystrophy results in predictable and progressive biochemical and structural changes to the intervertebral disc, resulting in early onset degeneration and dystrophic mineralization of the disc.

Expression and Localization of aquaporin‐1 in Temporomandibular Joint Disc with Internal Derangement [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Internal derangement is the most frequent arthropathy affecting the temporomandibular joint, where its commonest form is anterior disc displacement with or without reduction.

MSC Membrane‐Coated circPROSC‐siRNA Nanoparticles for Ameliorating Craniosynostosis by Inhibiting Premature Suture Ossification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CircPROSC promotes craniosynostosis by sponging miR‐6815‐5p, thereby activating WNT3A/β‐catenin signaling and enhancing RUNX2‐mediated osteogenesis. Targeted silencing of circPROSC with MSC membrane–coated siRNA nanoparticles (MM@Lipo/si‐circPROSC) delivered postnatally into cranial sutures attenuates premature suture closure in Twist1+/– mice ...

Machine learning and single-cell analysis identify the mitophagy-associated gene TOMM22 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for intervertebral disc degeneration

Heliyon
Background: Mitophagy selectively eliminates potentially cytotoxic and damaged mitochondria and effectively prevents excessive cytotoxicity from damaged mitochondria, thereby attenuating inflammatory and oxidative responses.

Protective Effect of Polygonatum sibiricum Polysaccharides on Apoptosis, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress in Nucleus Pulposus Cells of Rats with the Degeneration of the Intervertebral Disc

International Journal of Polymer Science, 2019
Objective. Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) has antioxidant activity, immune enhancement, and other biological properties. However, the effect of PSP on intervertebral disc degeneration has not been reported.
