## Abstract Cells of the nucleus pulposus (NP) in the intervertebral disc are derived directly from the embryonic notochord. In humans, a shift in NP cell population coincides with the beginning of ageβrelated changes in the extracellular matrix that can lead to spinal disorders. To begin identifyi
## Abstract To investigate the efficacies and the longevity of RNA interference in nucleus pulposus cells from rat and human, two reporter luciferase plasmids (__Firefly__ and __Renilla__) were used. These plasmids were cotransfected with siRNA targeting __Firefly__ luciferase to the nucleus pulpos
## Abstract Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) pertains to the loss of extracellular matrix (ECM), particularly the early loss of aggrecan, the turnover of which is regulated by ADAMTSs. Amongst the etiological factors of IDD, mechanical stress plays an important role in the physiological and p
