Regenerative potential of human nucleus pulposus resident stem/progenitor cells declines with ageing and intervertebral disc degeneration
12 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of resident nucleus pulposus stem/progenitor cells (NPSCs) in the tissue of the intervertebral disc (IVD). However, the cellular identity of NPSCs during IVD degeneration and ageing are poorly defined at present, despite significant progress in the understanding of NPSC biology. In the present study, NPSCs were isolated from human degenerated IVD and were...
