Histomorphology and immunohistochemical patterns in degenerative disc disease and clinical-radiological correlations. A prospective study

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common condition causing low-back pain, disability and, eventually, neurological symptoms. This investigation aimed to investigate intervertebral disc DDD-related changes, evaluating histomorphology and cytokines secretion, and their clinical-radiological correlations.

Carbon storage by Mediterranean vegetation developing inside a protected area

Carbon (C) storage and its dynamics in vegetation and soil are important for predicting how terrestrial ecosystem carbon pools may change as climate and land use change in the next future. In this context, the organic fraction of the C stored in the above-ground biomass (CA), below-ground biomass (CB), deadwood mass (CD), litter (CL) and soil (CS) was estimated for different plant land-cover categories: forests (i.e.
