Potential intervertebral disc degeneration-associated proteins identified using patient specimens. a Representative NMR images of patients’ spines with Modic grades before the surgery. b Representative NMR images of patients’ spines after the surgery. c Representative specimen images of normal and degenerative endplates from the patient surgery. d Relative mRNA expression of patients’ degenerative versus normal endplates (Patient 1–Patient 7) detected through qRT-PCR experiments with 70 genes of IVD degeneration-associated proteins in the signaling network. Color scale is shown in the corresponding figure
