Static Mechanical Stress Induces Apoptosis in Rat Endplate Chondrocytes through MAPK and Mitochondria-Dependent Caspase Activation Signaling Pathways
Mechanical stress has detrimental effects on cartilaginous endplate chondrocytes due to apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we investigated the possible apoptosis signaling pathways induced by mechanical stress in cultured rat cervical endplate chondrocytes. Static mechanical load signifi...
