It is found that for normal cartilage the collagen network does not become "limp" until the volume of cartilage has decreased by 20-25% of its initial value and that its contribution to the balance of forces in cartilage therefore must be taken into account over a much wider range of hydrations than was previously thought.

It is shown that survival of bacteria in nutrient‐depleted habitats is promoted by a novel strategy: finely tuned and fully reversible intracellular phase transitions that promote virulence by enabling long‐term bacterial endurance and enhancing antibiotic resistance in adverse habitats.

From a force balance, it would appear that collagen tension plays only a minor role in the equilibrium of the human intervertebral disc under load, in contrast to articular cartilage, where collagen tension is important for load bearing.

Molecular turnover rates of the major constituent matrix macromolecules of the IVD are found to be particularly slow, especially in the case of collagen, which may compromise the structural integrity of theIVD extracellular matrix essential for normal physiological functioning.

QELS is used to show that, in the presence of MHC molecules bound to a full agonist peptide, TCR/peptide–MHC complexes oligomerize in solution to form supramolecular structures at concentrations near the dissociation constant of the binding reaction.

A reliable diagnostic tool that could help a clinician to determine if a disc is the source of the pain in patients with chronic LBP is still not available.
