This study compares notched fracture toughness and impact microindentation in bovine bone to assess their correlation and potential as a non-destructive surrogate for fracture toughness.

This study shows TRPV4 activation protects intervertebral discs from mechanical loading-induced degeneration by enhancing matrix synthesis and reducing inflammation.

This study uses single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify immune cell infiltration and gene expression changes in rat intervertebral disc degeneration.

This study evaluates degeneration in mouse lumbar intervertebral discs after partial- or full-width injuries using contrast-enhanced microCT and histology, finding distinct degeneration patterns between the two injury types.

This study investigates sex-dependent compensatory mechanisms in blood pressure regulation in PGI2 receptor deficient mice under hyperlipidemic and high salt conditions.

This study uses positional MRI to compare spinal alignment and intervertebral disc changes between supine and standing positions in young, healthy individuals without low back pain.

This study shows that circadian rhythms affect lung inflammation during influenza infection by influencing immune cell composition rather than viral replication.
