Nucleus pulposus cells were stretched using a FX-5000T Flexcell tension plus system (Flexcell International Corp., USA) with 18% elongation (0.2 Hz) for 24 h Overall design: To compare the effects of
We performed Smart-seq 2 and analyzed the differential expression of genes and pathways of Modic change to comparator group. Additionally, we detect the role of reactive oxygen species on pyroptosis o
Glucose is critical to the development, homeostasis, and survival of nucleus pulposus cells. GLUT1 is a major glucose transporter, a NP phenotypic cell marker, and highly expressed in nucleus pulposus
