Stem cell therapy for intervertebral disk regeneration.
Intervertebral disk degeneration has been considered an irreversible process characterized by a decrease in cell viability, attenuation of proteoglycan and type II collagen synthesis, and dehydration of nucleus pulposus. Stem cell therapy specifically addresses the degenerative process and offers a potentially effective treatment modality. Current preclinical studies show that mesenchymal stem ...
متن کاملGene therapy for intervertebral disk degeneration.
Intervertebral disk degeneration is a common and potentially debilitating disease process affecting millions of Americans and other populations each year. Current treatments address resultant symptoms and not the underlying pathophysiology of disease. This has spawned the development of biologic treatments, such as gene therapy, which attempt to correct the imbalance between catabolism and anab...
متن کاملTissue engineering for intervertebral disk degeneration.
Many challenges confront intervertebral disk engineering owing to complexity and the presence of extraordinary stresses. Rebuilding a disk of native function could be useful for removal of the symptoms and correction of altered spine kinematics. Improvement in understanding of disk properties and techniques for disk engineering brings promise to the fabrication of a functional motion segment fo...
متن کاملKingella kingae intervertebral disk infection.
Disk inflammation in children is believed to result from infection, and Staphylococcus aureus is reported to be the organism most commonly isolated from cases of intervertebral disk infection. A case of disk inflammation caused by the unusual pathogen Kingella kingae is described. The antibiotic susceptibility of other K. kingae isolates and the clinical features of 11 other previously reported...
متن کاملChapter 3 Articular Cartilage and Intervertebral Disk
Structure and Function Articular cartilage is structurally well suited to support joint function: it provides a nearly frictionless interface between joint surfaces and protects underlying bones by redistributing loads. By bulk chemical analysis cartilage consists mainly of water (more than 70% of wet mass), proteoglycan (15% of wet mass), and collagen (15% of wet mass). More than 80% of the pr...
