TNF induces catabolism in human cartilaginous endplate cells in 3D agarose culture under dynamic compression

Abstract Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is the leading cause of low back pain in young adults, and the cartilaginous endplate (CEP) is likely to play a key role in early IVD degeneration. To elucidate the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on the mechanobiology of the CEP, human CEP cells...
