Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain and, in severe cases, can lead to disability. Current treatments for low back pain remain limited in efficacy, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving IDD. The degeneration process is primarily driven by an imbalance in the extracellular matrix, largely due to the senescence of...
