Engineering Intervertebral Disc Regeneration: Biomaterials, Cell Sources and Animal Models
This review highlights the current tissue engineering approaches utilising biomaterials, animal models and cell sources for intervertebral disc regeneration and discusses future opportunities. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is an age‐related problem triggering chronic spinal issues, such as low back pain and IVD herniation.

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.

Efficient and Easy‐Dyeing Method of Whole‐Mount Skeletal Staining
We provide an efficient, simple, and easy‐dyeing method of whole‐mount skeletal staining for observing vertebral morphology and finger patterns at the tips of the hands and feet. ABSTRACT One of the most widely used methods for phenotypic analysis in developmental biology is whole‐mount skeletal staining of mice.
