NF‐κB signalling pathways in nucleus pulposus cell function and intervertebral disc degeneration

Abstract excerpt

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common clinical degenerative disease of the spine. A series of factors, such as inflammation, oxidative stress and mechanical stress, promote degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the intervertebral discs (IVD), leading to dysfunction and structural destruction of the IVD. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcription factor has long been regarded as a pathogenic...
