Most-cited papers in JOR Spine

Artificial intelligence and machine learning in spine research

Fabio Galbusera, Gloria Casaroli, Tito Bassani · 5 Feb 2019

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques are revolutionizing several industrial and research fields like computer vision, autonomous driving, natural language processing, and speech recognition. These novel tools are already having a major impact in radiology, diagnostics, and many other fields in which the availability of automated solution may benefit the accuracy and repeatability…

Pathomechanism of intervertebral disc degeneration

Takeshi Oichi, Yuki Taniguchi, Yasushi Oshima et al. · 13 Feb 2020

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the main contributor to low back pain, which is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Although substantial progress has been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of IDD, fundamental and long-lasting treatments for IDD are still lacking. With increased understanding of the complex pathomechanism of IDD, alternative strategies for treating…

Mechanotransduction and cell biomechanics of the intervertebral disc

Bailey V. Fearing, Paula Hernández, Lori A. Setton et al. · 4 Jul 2018

Mechanical loading of the intervertebral disc (IVD) initiates cell-mediated remodeling events that contribute to disc degeneration. Cells of the IVD, nucleus pulposus (NP) and anulus fibrosus (AF), will exhibit various responses to different mechanical stimuli which appear to be highly dependent on loading type, magnitude, duration, and anatomic zone of cell origin. Cells of the…

The involvement of immune system in intervertebral disc herniation and degeneration

Fubiao Ye, Feng‐Juan Lyu, Hua Wang et al. · 1 Mar 2022

Intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation and degeneration contributes significantly to low back pain (LBP), of which the molecular pathogenesis is not fully understood. Disc herniation may cause LBP and radicular pain, but not all LBP patients have disc herniation. Degenerated discs could be the source of pain, but not all degenerated discs are symptomatic. We previously…

Vascularization of the human intervertebral disc: A scoping review

Dale E. Fournier, Patti Kiser, J. Kevin Shoemaker et al. · 15 Sep 2020

Intervertebral discs (IVDs) are often referred to as the largest avascular structures of the human body, yet a collective resource characterizing the vascularization of the IVD does not exist. To address this gap, the objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive search of the literature to review and summarize current knowledge of the…
