Mechanics and biology in intervertebral disc degeneration: a vicious circle

TLDR
It is argued that mechanics and biology are interconnected and amplify each other and the proposed disease model explains the comparable efficacy of very different animal models of disc degeneration, but also helps to consider the consequences of therapeutic interventions, either at the cellular, material or mechanical level.

Aging and age related stresses: a senescence mechanism of intervertebral disc degeneration.

TL;DR: This review deciphers the senescence mechanism of IVD degeneration (IVDD) by interpreting how aging coordinates with age-related, microenvironment-derived stresses in promoting disc cellsenescence and accelerating IVDD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disc in flames: Roles of TNF-α and IL-1β in intervertebral disc degeneration.

TL;DR: The contributions of TNF-α and IL-1β to changes seen during disc degeneration at both cellular and tissue level are described, as well as new evidence suggesting a link between infection of the spine and low back pain, and the emerging therapeutic modalities aimed at combating these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells modulate endoplasmic reticulum stress to protect against nucleus pulposus cell death and ameliorate intervertebral disc degeneration in vivo

TL;DR: This work is the first to demonstrate that MSC-exos could modulate ER stress-induced apoptosis during AGEs-associated IVD degeneration, and highlight the therapeutic effects of exosomes in preventing IDD progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Review of Animal Models of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration: Pathophysiology, Regeneration, and Translation to the Clinic

TL;DR: The role of animal models of disc degeneration in translational research leading to clinical trials of novel cellular therapies is explored and the purpose of such animal models is to further understanding and, ultimately, improve treatment of Disc degeneration.

Mitophagy in degenerative joint diseases

TL;DR: The potential of targeting mitophagy for the treatment of degenerative joint diseases is highlighted and strategies by the regulation ofMitophagy exert beneficial effects in the pre-clinical experiments.

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (vol 380, pg 2197, 2012)

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive update of disease burden worldwide incorporating a systematic reassessment of disease and injury-specific epidemiology has been done since the 1990 study, and the authors aimed to calculate disease burden globally and for 21 regions for 1990, 2005, and 2010 with methods to enable meaningful comparisons over time.

- 15 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The results for 1990 and 2010 supersede all previously published Global Burden of Disease results and highlight the importance of understanding local burden of disease and setting goals and targets for the post-2015 agenda taking such patterns into account.

Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals provide strong support for a role of the central nervous system in obesity susceptibility.
