Since establishing an independent research program at Jefferson, one of the major focuses of Dr. Risbud's laboratory has been to investigate the importance of local environmental factors in regulating ...
An intervertebral disk acts as shock absorber between each of the vertebrae in the spinal column by keeping the vertebrae separated when there is impact from activity. They also serve to protect the ...
Thus, the disk cells themselves can assume the functions of immune cells and can generate alarm signals, triggering the production of pro-inflammatory proteins with a dual effect: a decrease in the ...
As populations worldwide continue to age, chronic back pain caused by intervertebral disc degeneration is emerging as a widespread and costly health burden. Now, researchers have uncovered a key ...
In-silico modelling helps with the integrated study of the intervertebral disc in health and disease
The spinal column consists of 24 vertebrae that provide axial support to the torso and protection to the spinal cord that runs through its central cavity. The vertebrae are connected by means of ...
A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on September 8, 2025, titled, "Runx1 overexpression induces early onset of intervertebral disc degeneration." In this study, led by ...
Low back pain is the most prevalent musculoskeletal condition worldwide and is closely tied to the progressive degeneration of intervertebral discs. Aging remains the strongest risk factor for this ...
