Theoretical Explorations Generate New Hypotheses About the Role of the Cartilage Endplate in Early Intervertebral Disk Degeneration

Altered cell nutrition in the intervertebral disk (IVD) is considered a main cause for disk degeneration (DD). The cartilage endplate (CEP) provides a major path for the diffusion of nutrients from the peripheral vasculature to the IVD nucleus pulposus (NP). In DD, sclerosis of the adjacent bony end...
