Chronic sequelae and owner burdens are common following canine intervertebral disc disease

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Canine intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is common and may be managed conservatively or surgically. However, little is known about long‐term sequelae, quality of life and owners’ emotional burden after diagnosis. Methods Information regarding signalment, neuroanatomical lesion localisation, diagnostic imaging results and treatment ...

Long‐term outcome of presumptive idiopathic hyperesthesia syndrome in a dog treated with fluoxetine

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 9‐year‐old, 10 kg, male, neutered, mixed‐breed dog was evaluated for a history of daily episodes of thoracic and lumbar hair horripilation with potential hypersensitivity and discomfort for at least 1 year, as reported by the owner. Dermatological disease was ruled out.

Dual‐Lineage Chondrocyte‐Like Cells in the Nucleus Pulposus of Aging Intervertebral Discs Are Accelerated by Hedgehog Signaling Inactivation

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
During intervertebral disc degeneration, notochord‐derived nucleus pulposus cells progressively transdifferentiate into Krt19+ chondrocyte‐like cells (CLCs) and Krt19− CLCs, which are eventually replaced by Krt19− CLCs from non‐notochordal Gli1+ progenitors.

The tandem–random transition of cellular patterning: proposed roles of N‐cadherin‐based orientational cell adhesions in the development, maintenance, and degeneration of the nucleus pulposus

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can contribute to lower back and neck pain. In IDD, the most affected component of the intervertebral disc is the nucleus pulposus (NP). Derived from the notochord, where cells are organized into a tandem configuration, young NP cells cluster in three‐dimensional (3D) networks embedded in a gelatinous ...

Stiffening of the nucleus pulposus upon axial loading of the intervertebral disc: An experimental in situ study

open access: yesJOR Spine, 2018
Mechanical loading is inherently related to the function and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. We present a series of experiments aimed at measuring the effect of a loading/unloading cycle of the intervertebral disc on the mechanical properties of

Cone beam computed tomographic myelography in horses with cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While computed tomographic (CT) myelography is increasingly available and has been evaluated in alive horses, objective criteria for diagnosing cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVCM) are lacking. Objectives To establish morphometric dimensions of the cervical vertebral canal and spinal cords from horses with CVCM and ...

Propionibacterium acnes evades microbicidal phagocytosis by inhibiting the mitochondrial biogenesis of nucleus pulposus cells

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
P. acnes infection impairs the mitochondrial biogenesis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) through the AMPK/SIRT‐1/PGC‐1α signaling pathway. This results in impaired mitochondria that are unable to generate sufficient ATP, and impaired delivery of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species to carry out the bactericidal process effectively.

Itaconate-loaded metal–organic framework (MOF) nanomedicine for the sustained treatment of intervertebral disk degeneration

open access: yesAPL Materials
Intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) is a major cause of spinal pathology and pain and can lead to disability in adults in severe cases. The medication against disk degeneration is limited due to the lack of therapeutic drugs and ineffective delivery ...
