## Abstract ## Purpose To quantify the delayed contrast agent enhancement in the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc by means by T1 relaxation time measurements, and to correlate the enhancement with visual grading of disc degeneration. Diffusion of nutrients through the endplate is a key

## Objective. To investigate transforming growth factor  (TGF) regulation of CCN3 expression in cells of the nucleus pulposus. Methods. Real-time reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were used to measure CCN3 expression in the nucleus pulposus. Transfections w
## Abstract Nucleus pulposus intervertebral disc cells are routinely confronted with high osmolality in their microenvironment and respond to this stress in vitro by regulating cell cycle progression and by activating a DNA repair machinery in order to counteract its genotoxic effect. In the presen
## Abstract Deuterium (^2^H) double‐quantum filtered (DQF) NMR spectroscopy of nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues from human intervertebral discs is reported. The DQF spectral intensities, DQ build‐up rates, and DQF‐detected rotating‐frame spin‐lattice relaxation times are sensitive to the degree of hyd
## Abstract Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) pertains to the loss of extracellular matrix (ECM), particularly the early loss of aggrecan, the turnover of which is regulated by ADAMTSs. Amongst the etiological factors of IDD, mechanical stress plays an important role in the physiological and p
