Analysis of Infiltrating Immune Cells Following Intervertebral Disc Injury Reveals Recruitment of Gamma-Delta (????) T cells in Female Mice

This study identifies sex-specific immune cell responses following intervertebral disc injury, revealing differential recruitment of gamma-delta T cells in female mice and NKT cells in males.

Assessment of bovine cortical bone fracture behavior using impact microindentation as a surrogate of fracture toughness

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.

Modulation of TRPV4 Protects against Degeneration Induced by Sustained Loading and Promotes Matrix Synthesis in the Intervertebral Disc

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

Single Cell RNA-Sequence Analyses Reveal Uniquely Expressed Genes and Heterogeneous Immune Cell Involvement in the Rat Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

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

Contrast-enhanced microCT evaluation of degeneration following partial and full width injuries to mouse lumbar intervertebral disc

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.

Sex dependent compensatory mechanisms to preserve blood pressure homeostasis in PGI2 receptor deficient mice

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

Effects of Standing on Spinal Alignment and Lumbar Intervertebral Discs in Young, Healthy Individuals Determined by Positional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

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.

Circadian control of lung inflammation in influenza infection

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