## Abstract A significant biochemical change that takes place in intervertebral disc degeneration is the loss of proteoglycans in the nucleus pulposus. Proteoglycans attract fluid, which works to reduce mechanical stresses in the solid matrix of the nucleus and provide a hydrostatic pressure to the

## Abstract This study tested the hypothesis that changes in the morphology and composition of the nucleus pulposus with age and degeneration have associated changes in its mechanical properties. A torsional shear experiment was used to determine viscoelastic shear properties of cylindrical samples
