## Abstract Recent studies have reported that lowβintensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulates cell proliferation and proteoglycan production in rabbit intervertebral disc cells, and moreover promotes the secretion of MCPβ1 (monocyte chemotaxis proteinβ1) from macrophages in a disc organ culture
## Abstract It is generally known that lowβintensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) accelerates peripheral nerve tissue regeneration. However, the precise cellular mechanism involved is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine how the Schwann cells respond directly to LIPUS stimuli. Thu
The aim of this study was to gain information relevant to disc repair processes. Limited degradation of the collagen matrix by matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) may facilitate the loosening of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions within the injured intervertebral disc (IVD) to favour the penetration
