BACKGROUND: Low back pain resulting from intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) represents a significant global social problem. There are notable differences in the distribution of lymphatic vessels (LV) in normal and pathological intervertebral dis...
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is widely regarded as the primary contributor to low back pain(LBP). As an immune-privileged organ, upon the onset of IDD, various components of the nucleus pulposus (NP) are exposed to the host's im...

This study aimed to develop a graph neural network (GNN) for automated three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualization and Pfirrmann grading of intervertebral discs (IVDs), and benchmark it against manual classifications. Lumbar...
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain and disability. Cellular senescence and apoptosis due to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are key in IDD pathology. Identifying biomarkers linked to ERS in IDD is crucial fo...

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is intricately associated with various forms of programmed cell death (PCD). Identifying key PCD types and associated genes is essential for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying IVDD and discoverin...
INTRODUCTION: Aging is characterized by gradual structural and functional changes in the body over time, with intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) representing a key manifestation of spinal aging and a major contributor to low back pain (LBP).
The degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine is the common cause of neurological and physical dysfunctions and chronic disability of patients, which can be stratified into single-(e.g., disc herniation, prolapse, or bulge) and com...
BACKGROUND: Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide with a significant socioeconomic burden; artificial intelligence (AI) has proved to have a great potential in supporting clinical decisions at each stage of the healthcare process...
