Lost in Translation: Why Biologic Therapies for Intervertebral Disc Degeneration and Low Back Pain Have Not Reached the Clinic (Yet)

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
From preclinical promise to clinical translation in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Robust preclinical evidence supports a range of biologic therapies, with consistent improvements in imaging, extracellular matrix composition, inflammation, and behavior.

Biomechanical analysis of bone mesoscopic structure and mechanical properties of vertebral endplates of degenerated intervertebral discs in rabbits

Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices
In previous studies of disc degeneration, the structural and mechanical properties of the endplate were often neglected. In this paper, the station legislation was used to construct an animal model of minor trauma disc degeneration, and the mechanism of ...

Galectin‐4: A Novel Mediator of Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Galectin‐4 correlates with intervertebral disc degeneration, independent of age, sex, or underlying pathology. Functionally, it activates NF‐κB signaling and induces pro‐inflammatory and matrix‐degrading responses, with stronger effects in nucleus pulposus cells, identifying it as a novel molecular player in disc degeneration.

A Porcine Model of Intervertebral Disc Injury Recapitulates Human Discogenic Pain Via Notochordal Cell Loss and Pain‐Inducing Nucleus Pulposus Cell Emergence

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
A porcine model of disc injury recapitulates key clinical, histological, and molecular features of human discogenic low back pain. Multi‐omics analyses identify a shift from notochordal cells to pain‐associated nucleus pulposus cells as a potential driver of disease progression. ABSTRACT Background Lower back pain (LBP) is one of the most common causes

Large Language Models in Preclinical Spine Research: A Scoping Review and Expert Perspective on Evidence‐Aware Experimental Workflows

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Preclinical spine research is limited by heterogeneous experimental reporting, fragmented documentation, and barriers to reproducibility and translational alignment. Large language models (LLMs) and related artificial intelligence (AI) technologies may support semantic interpretation, structured data extraction, and reasoning over ...

Semi‐Automated μCT‐Based Modeling of Vertebral Bony Endplate Microporosity and Mechanical Properties: Linking Microstructure to Inferred Mechanical Performance

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The vertebral bony endplate (BEP) plays a role in regulating both mechanical load transfer and nutrient transport to the intervertebral disc, functions strongly influenced by its microstructural porosity. Variations in porosity impact bone strength, elasticity, and solute diffusion, affecting its overall mechanical competence ...
