Inhibition of Fibroblast Activation Protein‐α Ameliorates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via Reduced Vascular Invasion in Cartilage Endplate

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 6, June 2026.
Schematic illustration showing that FAP‐α promoted angiogenesis, cytokine release and ECM degradation in the CEP degeneration of the intervertebral disc through upregulating the PI3K/Akt/HIF‐1α/VEGFA pathway. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain, with the development of new blood vessels being a key ...

Nucleus pulposus-induced apoptosis in dorsal root ganglion following experimental disc herniation in rats

open access: yes, 2006
STUDY DESIGN: The mechanisms behind the formation of a characteristic tissue reaction at the surface of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) exposed to nucleus pulposus was studied with special reference to apoptosis using electron microscopy and ...

Mitochondrial DNA: A Key Alarmin Igniting the Inflammasome Fire in Health and Disease

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 178, Issue 2, Page 218-230, June 2026.
This review illustrates how mitochondrial DNA, released under cellular stress, acts as a key alarmin that ignites innate immune sensors, particularly inflammasomes and the cGAS‐STING pathway. This paper details how this sustained “inflammasome fire” fuels the progression of diverse inflammatory diseases, including neurodegeneration and metabolic ...

Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

A Meta‐Analysis of Cost‐Effectiveness in Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease Treated With Cervical Disc Arthroplasty Versus Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1133-1143, June 2026.
This meta‐analysis finds that anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has a lower initial cost, while cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) demonstrates a lower risk of reoperation and DVT/PE. CDA's long‐term clinical benefits may offset its higher upfront expense.

In vitro analysis of osteogenic inhibition in non-union spinal fusion caused by nucleus pulposus cells.

open access: yes, 2015
Discectomy and spinal fusion is the gold standard for spinal surgery to relieve pain. However, fusion can be hindered for yet unknown reasons that lead to non-fusions with pseudo-arthrosis.

Full Endoscopic Piecemeal Resection of Lumbar Ligamentum Flavum Cyst With Uniaxial Large Working Channel Spinal Endoscope: Technical Report and Case Series

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1298-1308, June 2026.
The formation of lumbar ligamentum flavum cyst (LLFC) represents one of the extremely rare etiologies of lumbar spinal stenosis. Owing to the rarity of such cases and the severe adhesion of LLFC to adjacent tissues, significant challenges are posed to surgical intervention.

Application of Ultrasonic Osteotome in Segmental Resection and Removal of Cage During Revision Surgery for Intervertebral Disc Space Infection After Lumbar Fusion

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1216-1222, June 2026.
The ultrasonic osteotome‐based segmental excision method has the advantages of shorter and controllable operation time, lower blood loss, higher success rate of removal, and lower risk of nerve damage, making it uniquely valuable in the revision surgery for IVDS infection after lumbar fusion.
