Influence of extracellular osmolarity and mechanical stimulation on gene expression of intervertebral disc cells.
Intervertebral discs (IVD) have a higher extracellular osmolarity than most other tissues; moreover their osmolarity changes by around 25% during each diurnal cycle. In this study, changes in aggrecan, collagen I and collagen II expression of IVD cells were examined after exposure to osmotic environ...
