Rapamycin mitigates inflammation‐mediated disc matrix homeostatic imbalance by inhibiting mTORC1 and inducing autophagy through Akt activation

Abstract Background Low back pain is a global health problem that originated mainly from intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Autophagy, negatively regulated by the phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, prevents metabolic and degenerative...
