Goal of the Study? In this primary research article [1. A novel rat tail disc degeneration model induced by static bending and compression] the authors aim to establish an animal model that can be extrapolated to the complex mechanical load of human intervertebral disc during bending and compression loading. Their hypothesis was that a [...]
