In Vivo Mouse Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Model Based on a New Histological Classification
Although human intervertebral disc degeneration can lead to several spinal diseases, its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to create a new histological classification applicable to an in vivo mouse intervertebral disc degeneration model induced by needle puncture. One hundred six mice were operated and the L4/5 intervertebral disc was punctured with a 35- or 33-gauge needle. Micro-...
متن کاملIntervertebral Disc Dynamics and Degeneration
Degenerative disc disease is a serious health problem worldwide, whose etiological basis – mechanical stimulus, biochemical changes, or natural aging – is poorly understood. While the disc’s known function is that of dynamic shock absorber, its dynamic response has not been fully characterized throughout the disc health spectrum (from healthy to degenerate). Therefore, this study aimed to corre...
متن کاملDegeneration of the intervertebral disc
The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body. It is believed to be important clinically because there is an association of disc degeneration with back pain. Current treatments are predomina...
متن کاملSingle Voxel Spectroscopy Of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration — An In Vitro Bovine Disc Degeneration Model
Introduction: Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) afflicts nearly 12 million people in the United States and is a leading cause of lumbar spine-related lowerback pain [1]. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a critical role in detection of late-stage degenerative changes (such as changes in disc morphology, height, bulge and herniation). Recently, other MRI methods have been propos...
متن کاملStem cell horizons in intervertebral disc degeneration
Intervertebral disc degeneration remains a pervasive and intractable disease arising from a combination of aging and stress on the back and spine. The growing field of regenerative medicine brings the promise of stem cells in the treatment of disc disease. Scientists and physicians hope to employ stem cells not only to stop, but also reverse degeneration. However, there are many important outst...
