Fifteen lumbar spines were collected postmortem. The interverte-bra1 discs were assigned morphological grades and were analyzed for water, collagen, and proteoglycan. In order of increasing degeneration, five grade 0, four grade 1,45 grade 2, 12 grade 3A, and nine grade 3B discs were identified. The
## Abstract Classic degenerative disc disease is a serious health problem worldwide, whose etiological basisโmechanical stimulus, biochemical changes, or natural agingโis poorly understood. Animal models are critical to the study of degenerative disc disease initiation and progression and for attem
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a complex process characterized by biochemical and structural changes in both the nucleus pulposus and the anulus fibrosus. In this study, we were able to obtain in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) images of the rabbit spine, with several MR imaging (MRI) contra
