50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Evaluation of Partial Volume Correction Techniques for Sodium MRI of the Achilles Tendon

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 2180-2193, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate partial volume correction (PVC) techniques for sodium MRI of the Achilles tendon in situ and in vivo. Methods Five PVC methods were evaluated including a volume ratio of the proton and sodium segmentations (PSSR), a modified least trimmed square (3D‐mLTS) linear regression, a geometric transfer matrix (GTM) approach, a ...

Advancement in the Methods for Isolating High Quality RNA From Mouse and Rat Intervertebral Disc

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Isolating high‐quality RNA from intervertebral disc (IVD) tissue poses a challenge due to dense fibrocartilaginous extracellular matrix and naturally occurring endogenous RNases. High RNA quality is of paramount importance for accurate and reproducible molecular analyses, such as RNA sequencing.

Biomechanical Analysis and Injury Prediction in Pilots With Lumbar Spondylolysis Under Different Seat Inclination Angles

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
The biomechanical responses of three lumbar models under both seat angles remain below injury thresholds. However, the occurrence of spondylolysis at a 22° angle poses a higher risk. ABSTRACT Background This study aims to quantify the biomechanical effects of different seat inclinations on the normal and spondylolysis lumbar of pilots under typical ...

Complex Mechanical Loading and Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study investigated the combined effects of dynamic compression and torsion with major pro‐catabolic cytokine interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and its inhibitor: interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), on bovine IVD in an ex vivo organ culture system and further evaluated the mechanical effects using a subject‐personalized finite element model based ...

Influence of the Intervertebral Disc Microenvironment on Matrix Synthesis and Metabolism in Goat Nucleus Pulposus Cells

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Goat nucleus pulposus cells cultured under clinically relevant oxygen, glucose, pH, and osmolarity revealed pH to have the most influential impact on viability and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Interactions between factors showed that disc cell behavior is shaped by the microenvironment, highlighting its importance in regenerative therapy design for the
