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 ...

Effects of bed rest and immobilization on intramuscular and intermuscular adipose tissue: A systematic review

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle disuse caused by bed rest and immobilization is associated with muscle atrophy and insulin resistance, which might be related to increases in intramuscular fat (IntraMAT) and intermuscular fat (InterMAT) accumulation. In this systematic review, we compiled evidence on the effects of bed rest and unilateral lower‐limb immobilization on ...

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.

Secretome and Pathway Analysis of Stress Induced Disc Degeneration In Vitro

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Integrated secretome and phosphoprotein profiling of human nucleus pulposus cells revealed that IL‐1β and TLR2/6 activation induce a shared degenerative program, defined by consistent upregulation of IL‐6, IL‐8, GRO‐α, ICAM‐1, and MMP‐7 and convergence on NF‐κB/AP‐1 signaling.

Viscoelastic and Morphologic Changes in the Lumbar Intervertebral Discs of the 5xFAD Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
The intervertebral discs (IVDs) from mice with amyloid pathologies are larger, flatter, and exhibit increased energy absorption, making these IVDs more susceptible to damage. This heightened vulnerability may predispose elderly individuals with AD to disc injuries, accelerating IVD degeneration and spinal pain. ABSTRACT Background Chronic low back pain,

A Network‐Based Approach to Understanding Key Signaling Pathways in Intervertebral Disc Biology

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
A literature‐based signaling network capturing the most relevant pathways in human nucleus pulposus cells was first constructed from curated biological evidence. The network was then translated into a system of ordinary differential equations to derive steady‐state solutions and define median baseline activity levels.

Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain Without Advanced Disk Degeneration Exhibit Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis: Evidence From an Age‐, Sex‐, and BMI‐Matched Pilot Study

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Chronic low back pain in patients without advanced disc degeneration is associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis, marked by reduced microbial diversity and altered bacterial composition. These findings support a gut–disk axis in which impaired gut barrier integrity and systemic inflammation may contribute to disc inflammation, nociceptive fiber ...

Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.
