LGR6 modulates intervertebral disc degeneration through regulation of macrophage efferocytosis
25 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a leading cause of chronic low back pain, characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, excessive inflammation activation, and increased cell apoptosis. LGR6, a receptor known for its role in tissue regeneration, has recently been implicated in modulating macrophage efferocytosis, a process critical for clearing apoptotic cells and...
