Intervertebral disc cell-mediated mesenchymal stem cell differentiation.
Low back pain is one of the largest health problems in the Western world today, and intervertebral disc degeneration has been identified as a main cause. Currently, treatments are symptomatic, but cell-based tissue engineering methods are realistic alternatives for tissue regeneration. However, the major problem for these strategies is the generation of a suitable population of cells. Adult bon...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cell in the Intervertebral Disc
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a major spinal disorder that causes back pain. Nucleus pulposus (NP) in the central of IVD dehydrates and become more fibrous in the IVD degeneration. NP cells undergo apoptosis with the degeneration of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. To replenish the NP cells and core ECM, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) have been highlighte...
متن کاملStem Cell-Mediated Intervertebral Disc Regeneration
Currently, degenerative disk disease (DDD) and the subsequent chronic lower back pain that results from it represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The available treatment modalities such as pain therapy and surgical interventions aim to provide symptomatic relief; however, they do not address the underlying pathophysiology of DDD. The disease also has high societal ...
متن کاملInfluence of Porcine Intervertebral Disc Matrix on Stem Cell Differentiation
For back disorders, cell therapy is one approach for a real regeneration of a degenerated nucleus pulposus. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) could be differentiated into nucleus pulposus (NP)-like cells and used for cell therapy. Therefore it is necessary to find a suitable biocompatible matrix, which supports differentiation. It could be shown that a differentiation of hMSC in a microbial t...
متن کاملStem cell horizons in intervertebral disc degeneration
Intervertebral disc degeneration remains a pervasive and intractable disease arising from a combination of aging and stress on the back and spine. The growing field of regenerative medicine brings the promise of stem cells in the treatment of disc disease. Scientists and physicians hope to employ stem cells not only to stop, but also reverse degeneration. However, there are many important outst...
