## Abstract The innervation of the human intervertebral disc was investigated by immunochemical methods. Immunoreactivity to the general nerve marker protein gene product (PGP 9.5) was found in the outer annulus fibrosus of 11 of 12 discs removed during anterior arthrodesis for back pain. PGP 9.5βi
The biomechanical functions of the internal components of the intervertebral disc are not well understood. The surface deformation of 17 human cadaveric lumbar intervertebral discs was studied by photogrammetry by adhering small optical targets to the disc surface and thereby recording the length, b
Human intervertebral discs were investigated by 1H NMR in vitro. The measured parameters of samples differently located in discs give the "maps" of discs. The spin-lattice relaxation-time maps show similar structure to dry matter and bound water maps, which might mean the future possibility to detec
Results obtained by physical methods of examination, particularly X-ray diffraction, polarizing and electron microscopy and more recently differential thermal analysis, are reviewed. The different structures of the elastic wall of the disc (annulus fibrosus) and the gel-like centre of the disc (nucl
## Abstract Calcification is a pathological process that may lead to impairment of nutrient supply and disc metabolism in degenerative and scoliotic intervertebral discs (IVDs). The purpose of this study was to assess the calcification potential of IVDs in degenerative disc disease (DDD) and adoles
