Novel Immortal Cell Lines Support Cellular Heterogeneity in the Human Annulus Fibrosus
21 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Loss of annulus fibrosus (AF) integrity predisposes to disc herniation and is associated with IVD degeneration. Successful implementation of biomedical intervention therapy requires in-depth knowledge of IVD cell biology. We recently generated unique clonal human nucleus pulposus (NP) cell lines. Recurring functional cellular phenotypes from independent donors provided pivotal evidence for cell...
