CRISPR-Cas9-mediated loss of function of β-catenin attenuates intervertebral disc degeneration
28 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a very common medical condition causing pain and disability, and it cannot be reversed by available treatment options. Here we report that targeting β-catenin, a pivotal factor associated with disc degeneration, ameliorates disc degeneration in a mouse model of disc injury. Degenerative changes in the disc in response to disc injury include decompression of nucleus pulposus...
