Unlabelled: Chronic back pain (CBP) is the leading cause of disability affecting 1 in 10 people worldwide. Symptoms are marked by persistent lower back pain, reduced mobility, and heightened cold sensitivity. Here, we utilize a mouse model of CBP induced by injecting urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), a proinflammatory agent in the fibrinolytic pathway, between the L2/L3 lumbar vertebrae.

The small deformation elastic (Young's) modulus and large deformation fracture behavior of emulsion-filled composite gelatin gels are reported as a function of filler volume fraction (ϕ = 0 - 0.
