In vitro method for measuring synthesis rates in the intervertebral disc.
A method for culturing intervertebral disc tissue in vitro under conditions that control changes in hydration and minimize loss of proteoglycans has been developed. Disc slices were enclosed in small-pore dialysis tubing and incubated in medium containing polyethylene glycol (PEG). By varying the PE...
