Proteoglycan synthesis in the intervertebral disk nucleus: The role of extracellular osmolality
Proteoglycans, through their polyelectrolyte properties, regulate the ionic composition and hence the osmotic pressure of the extracellular matrix. We measured the change in [35S]sulfate incorporation, a marker of proteoglycan synthesis, in explants of bovine nucleus pulposus. During incubation, nuc...
