A Porcine Model of Intervertebral Disc Injury Recapitulates Human Discogenic Pain via Notochordal Cell Loss and Pain-inducing Nucleus Pulposus Cell Emergence

2025-11-28

Abstract excerpt

Lower back pain (LBP) is one of the most common causes of disability, with up to 40% of LBP cases attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. While small animal models are widely used to study IVD and LBP, the small size of their IVDs limits translational and biological relevance. Large animal models more accurately emulate human disease; however, methods of measuring LBP are not well established. Pigs w...
