Circular RNAs in nucleus pulposus cell function and intervertebral disc degeneration
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common cause of low back pain, which inflicts more global disability than any other condition. Although IDD was deemed to be a natural process that comes with ageing, a growing body of evidence suggested that ...

Chondrocyte‐like nested cells in the aged intervertebral disc are late‐stage nucleus pulposus cells
Aging is a major risk factor of intervertebral disc degeneration and a leading cause of back pain. Pathological changes associated with disc degeneration include the absence of large, vacuolated and reticular‐shaped nucleus pulposus cells, and appearance

Association Between Sarcopenia and the Long‐Term Risk of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia and intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) are both highly prevalent among the elderly and have a substantial impact on their quality of life. However, the association between sarcopenia and IDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether sarcopenia is independently associated with an increased risk of IDD in

Free Radicals in Health and Disease
Free radicals have dual roles that can either selectively create oxidative damages to transformed cells in treating proliferative diseases such as cancers and some dermatological disorders or boost the antioxidant system in treating degenerative diseases such as neurodegenerative disorder, joint degeneration, and metabolic conditions.
