Excessive mechanical strain accelerates intervertebral disc degeneration by disrupting the intrinsic circadian rhythm
Nucleus pulposus cells  were stretched using a FX-5000T Flexcell tension plus system (Flexcell International Corp., USA)  with 18% elongation (0.2 Hz) for 24 h Overall design: To compare the effects of  cyclic tensile strain on the circadian clock-related genes in nucleus pulposus cells
