Damage to the human lumbar cartilage endplate and its clinical implications
Damage to the human lumbar cartilage endplate and its clinical implications: AbstractThe cartilaginous endplate (CEP) is a thin layer of hyaline cartilage, and plays an important role in the diffusion of nutrients into the intervertebral discs. Its damage may seriously affect the disc degeneration, and result in low back pain (LBP). However, the structural features of damaged CEPs have not been well characterized, and this hinders our understanding of the etiology of disc degeneration and pain. To...
