Conditioned medium derived from notochordal cell-rich nucleus pulposus tissue stimulates matrix production by canine nucleus pulposus cells and bone marrow-derived stromal cells. [PDF]
Objectives: Conditioned medium derived from notochordal cell-rich nucleus pulposus tissue (NCCM) was previously shown to have a stimulatory effect on bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) individually, in mixed species in ...

Influence of Age-Related Degeneration on Regenerative Potential of Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells
Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells, sourced from herniation surgeries, may be used as a cell-based therapy for intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. But, both the regenerative potential of these degenerative adult NP cells and how to stimulate optimum matrix ...

Effect of different cryopreservation media on human nucleus pulposus cells' viability and trilineage potential [PDF]
Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is a significant cause of disability in many countries, affecting more than half a billion people worldwide. In the past, progenitor cells have been found within the nucleus pulposus (NP) of the human intervertebral disc

Hyperosmolar expansion medium improves nucleus pulposus cell phenotype
AbstractBackgroundRepopulating the degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD) with tissue‐specific nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) has already been shown to promote regeneration in various species. Yet the applicability of NPCs as cell‐based therapy has been hampered by the low cell numbers that can be extracted from donor IVDs and their potentially limited ...

Successful fishing for nucleus pulposus progenitor cells of the intervertebral disc across species [PDF]
Background context: Recently, Tie2/TEK receptor tyrosine kinase (Tie2 or syn. Ang-1 angiopoetin-1 receptor) positive nucleus pulposus progenitor cells were detected in human, cattle and mouse.

Abstract Reabsorption of the nucleus pulposus (NP) in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) refers to the natural absorption or even complete disappearance of LDH. In order to better treat LDH, it is necessary to further study its mechanism and develop new therapeutic drugs.

Exhaustion of nucleus pulposus progenitor cells with ageing and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. [PDF]
Despite the high prevalence of intervertebral disc disease, little is known about changes in intervertebral disc cells and their regenerative potential with ageing and intervertebral disc degeneration.

The Stimulatory Effect of Notochordal-Cell Conditioned Medium in a Nucleus Pulposus Explant Culture [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Notochordal cell-conditioned medium (NCCM) has previously shown to have a stimulatory effect on nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in alginate and pellet cultures.
