1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: A radiographic, histologic, biochemical, and gene expression study was conducted in vivo in a rabbit model to determine the effect of injection of the N-terminal 30 kDa fibronectin fragment (Fn-f) into the intervertebral disc along with various control substances. OBJECTIVE: To determine if the Fn-f is able to induce disc degeneration in vivo. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Animal models of disc...
