The initial effects of chymopapain, a chemonucleolytic agent, on the intervertebral disc of dogs were studied by light and electron microscopic techniques. Fragments of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosis were incubated with chymopapain up to 24 h in vitro. Proteoglycans and matrix proteins were r

## Abstract The intervertebral disc is the largest asvacular structure in the body; consequently, there are steep gradients in O~2~ concentration, with PO~2~ falling to as low as 1% O~2~ in the centre of the disc. We investigated the effect of O~2~ concentration on the rates of O~2~ consumption, la
## 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 A simplified finite element model of the human lumbar intervertebral disc was utilized for understanding nucleus pulposus implant mechanics. The model was used to assess the effect of nucleus implant parameter variations on the resulting compressive biomechanics of the lumbar anterior c
