INTERVERTEBRAL DISC-ON-A-CHIP AS ADVANCED IN VITRO MODEL FOR MECHANOBIOLOGY RESEARCH AND DRUG TESTING: A REVIEW AND PERSPECTIVE

Intervertebral Disc-on-a-Chip as Advanced In Vitro Model for Mechanobiology Research and Drug Testing: A Review and Perspective

Discogenic back pain is one of the most diffused musculoskeletal pathologies and a hurdle to a good quality of life for millions of people.Existing therapeutic options are exclusively directed at reducing symptoms, not at targeting the underlying, still poorly understood, degenerative processes.Common intervertebral disc (IVD) disease models still

Ballasting Weight on Net Buoyancy Changes and Submergence Depth for a Spherical Buoyancy–Driven Intelligent Float Based on the Ballasting Method

Net buoyancy changes affect hovering performance and increase the extra energy consumption of deep-sea intelligent floats (DIFs) at different submergence depths.To improve the adjustment efficiency of net buoyancy changes and solve the extra energy consumption problem at different submergence depths, this study proposes a bible flask combination mo
