Effects of mechanical simulation on the organisation and expression of cytoskeletal elements and extracellular matrix metabolism in bovine intervertebral disc cells
Introduction: Disc degeneration is the primary cause of low hack pain. Due to the main function of the spine, mechanical stimuli play a pivotal role in the development of disc degeneration. Previous studies have shown that cytoskeletal elements are involved in the mechanotransduction pathways betwee...
