2025-05-21
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Cigarette smoking constitutes a major modifiable risk factor for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), yet the mechanistic underpinnings remain incompletely elucidated. This study aimed to elucidate the pathological effects of nicotine-the primary addictive component in tobacco-on IVDD, focusing on its role in inflammation, extracellular matrix (ECM) disruption, and cellular senescen...
