Spatial mapping of collagen content and structure in human intervertebral disk degeneration
JOR Spine, 2020 Collagen plays a key structural role in both the annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) of intervertebral disks (IVDs). Changes in collagen content with degeneration suggest a shift from collagen type II to type I within the NP, and the ...
