What is intervertebral disc degeneration, and what causes it?
TL;DR: To suggest how intervertebral disc degeneration might be distinguished from the physiologic processes of growth, aging, healing, and adaptive remodeling, and to simplify the issue of causality.

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc
Jill P. G. Urban,Sally Roberts +1 more
TL;DR: The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different, and shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical Initiation of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
TL;DR: Comparisons with the results from tissue culture experiments indicated that the observed changes in matrix compressive stress would inhibit disc cell metabolism throughout the disc, and could lead to progressive deterioration of the matrix.
