Solute transport in intervertebral disc: experiments and finite element modelling

The human intervertebral disc (IVD) is the largest avascular tissue in the body. Discs are made up of a gelatinous substance called the nucleus pulposus (NP), which acts as a shock absorber and provides flexibility during the diurnal cycle. The NP is surrounded by a fibrocartilaginous ring, the oute...
