The effects of mechanical load on human intervertebral disc cells
The precise mechanisms by which human intervertebral discs (IVD) respond to load remains unknown and are a challenge to investigate in vitro. In this study, a novel mechanical loading system was devised, built, tested and successfully used to apply hydrostatic pressure to nucleus pulposus (NP) and a...
