The Relative $J/Ψ$ to $Ψ'$ Suppression in Proton-Nucleus and Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions [PDF]
We calculate the nuclear suppression for $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ production within a coupled channel approach in the subspace of the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ states. We are able to explain, why (i) the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ show the same suppression from $200\ GeV$ to $800\ GeV$ in proton-nucleus collisions and why (ii) the $\Psi'$ is absorbed more strongly ...

Protein in the Nucleus Pulposus of the Intervertebral Disk [PDF]
THE nucleus pulposus of the normal human intervertebral disk consists of collagen fibrils dispersed in a gel of polysaccharide and protein complexes. During ageing collagen fibrils are deposited as a matrix showing increasing orientation with age as seen from X-ray diffraction investigations1.

Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is known to aggravate with age and oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of many age-related diseases. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived-2)-like 2 (Nrf2) can confer adaptive protection against oxidative

Engineering Intervertebral Disc Regeneration: Biomaterials, Cell Sources and Animal Models
This review highlights the current tissue engineering approaches utilising biomaterials, animal models and cell sources for intervertebral disc regeneration and discusses future opportunities. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is an age‐related problem triggering chronic spinal issues, such as low back pain and IVD herniation.

MANAJEMEN NYERI PASIEN RAWAT JALAN PADA KASUS HERNIA NUKLEUS PULPOSUS MELALUI CORE STABILITY
Herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) is a situation where the annulus fibrosus along nucleus pulposus protruding into the spinal canal. HNP patients often complain of back pain radiating to the lower limbs, especially when bending activity.

Apparent diffusion in nucleus pulposus is associated with pain and mobility improvements after spinal mobilization for acute low back pain [PDF]
Pain perception, trunk mobility in flexion, extension, and lateral flexion, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) within nucleus pulposus of all lumbar discs were collected before and after posterior-to-anterior mobilization in 16 adults with acute low back pain.

COX-2 expression mediated by calcium-TonEBP signaling axis under hyperosmotic conditions serves osmoprotective function in nucleus pulposus cells. [PDF]
The nucleus pulposus (NP) of intervertebral discs experiences dynamic changes in tissue osmolarity because of diurnal loading of the spine. TonEBP/NFAT5 is a transcription factor that is critical in osmoregulation as well as survival of NP cells in the ...

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.
