Application of stem cells in the repair of intervertebral disc degeneration
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common disease that increases with age, and its occurrence is stressful both psychologically and financially. Stem cell therapy for IDD is emerging. For this therapy, stem cells from different sources have been

Gut-disc axis: A cause of intervertebral disc degeneration and low back pain?
Low back pain (LBP), a widely prevalent and costly disease around the world, is mainly caused by intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD). Although numerous factors may trigger this degenerative process, microbiome dysbiosis has recently been ...

NF‐κB signalling pathways in nucleus pulposus cell function and intervertebral disc degeneration
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common clinical degenerative disease of the spine. A series of factors, such as inflammation, oxidative stress and mechanical stress, promote degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the intervertebral ...

Targeting Ferroptosis With Ginsenoside Rg3 Alleviates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration. [PDF]
Ginsenosides Rg3 were used to repair the degenerative nucleus pulposus; Furthermore, Rg3 was identified as the bioactive molecule that inhibits the occurrence of ferroptosis through inhibiting PRKAA2 expression in degenerated discs. ABSTRACT Objective Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) has been closely associated with ferroptosis in nucleus ...
