Assessment of Tie2-Rejuvenated Nucleus Pulposus Cell Transplants from Young and Old Patient Sources Demonstrates That Age Still Matters
30 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Cell transplantation is being actively explored as a regenerative therapy for discogenic back pain. This study explored the regenerative potential of Tie2+ nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) from intervertebral disc (IVD) tissues derived from young (<25 years of age) and old (>60 years of age) patient donors. We employed an optimized culture method to maintain Tie2 expression in NP cells from both donor...
