Abstract excerpt
Senescence of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) in degenerative intervertebral discs is related to the development and progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). The aim of this study was to establish a reliable and robust cell senescent model using D-galactose (D-Gal) to induce oxidative stress in NPCs. NPCs were isolated from Sprague Dawley rats and incubated with increasing concentrations of D-Gal....
