Our data show that fibrous nuclear transformation during aging/degeneration precedes cleft formation.

Our results support the hypothesis that disc degeneration starts in the nucleus. Extensive macroscopic alterations already apparent in the second life decade present a challenge to any tissue engineering and repair attempt.
