He can rattle off, "Herniated nucleus pulposus," and not hear it as funny. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Departing from the pattern of painstaking review, the table quickly went over the pertinent structures, lingering only to consider what occurs when, as the syllabus put it, “the prolapse of the nucleus pulposus through the outer annulus fibrosus, causes impingement on nerve roots exiting the spinal canal.” ❋ Steve Giegerich (2001)
This pulpy substance (nucleus pulposus), especially well-developed in the lumbar region, is the remains of the notochord. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Under pressure the highly elastic nucleus pulposus becomes flatter and broader and pushes the more resistant fibrous laminæ outward in all directions. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The portions of the notochord which are surrounded by the bodies of the vertebræ atrophy, and ultimately disappear, while those which lie in the centers of the intervertebral fibrocartilages undergo enlargement, and persist throughout life as the central nucleus pulposus of the fibrocartilages (Fig. 66). ❋ Unknown (1918)
In addition, the finding of differential expression of proteins in the cell population of nucleus pulposus has implications with regard to the search for specific markers. ❋ Audrey Gilson (2010)
The mesenchymal intermediate filament protein vimentin was present in all bovine and porcine nucleus pulposus cells. ❋ Audrey Gilson (2010)
The notochordal cell population is reported to disappear from the nucleus pulposus of bovine discs before birth and from human discs in childhood. ❋ Audrey Gilson (2010)
As notochordal cells produce factors that promote matrix production, the CK8 positive subpopulation could have important implications for activity and survival of the nucleus pulposus and should be considered in development of cell therapies for disc repair. ❋ Audrey Gilson (2010)
We searched for markers using the differential in-gel electrophoresis proteomic technology to compare proteins of bovine nucleus pulposus cells, phenotypically similar to mature human nucleus cells, with those of bovine articular chondrocytes. ❋ Audrey Gilson (2010)
However our finding of the co-expression of vimentin and CK8 in small isolated clusters of the bovine nucleus pulposus cells indicates that a subpopulation of notochordal-like cells remains in the mature bovine disc. ❋ Audrey Gilson (2010)
Notochordal nucleus pulposus cells from pig, phenotypically similar to human infant nucleus pulposus cells, were all CK8 positive. ❋ Audrey Gilson (2010)
Intervertebral discs: (Amphiarthroses) annulus fibrosus: tough outer layer (fibrocartilage) nucleus pulposus: soft, gelatinous core ❋ Guest9f4de2b (2010)
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to be involved in the degradation of the nucleus pulposus (NP) during intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. ❋ Stephen Richardson (2009)
The annulus fibrosus is a sturdy structure that surrounds the nucleus pulposus, a gel-like center. ❋ Unknown (2009)
