The role of miR-155-5p in inflammation and mechanical loading during intervertebral disc degeneration

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a multifactorial pathological process resulting in the dysregulation of IVD cell activity. The catabolic shift observed in IVD cells during degeneration leads to increased inflammation, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, aberrant intracellular signaling and cell loss. Importantly, these pathological processes are known to be interconnected and to...
