Cadherin-Mediated Cell-Cell Interactions Regulates Phenotype And Morphology of Nucleus Pulposus Cells Of The Intervertebral Disc
(2015)Juvenile nucleus pulposus (NP) cells of the intervertebral disc (IVD) are large, vacuolated cells that form cell clusters with numerous cell-cell interactions. With maturation and aging, NP cells lose their ability to form ... -
Laminin-Functionalized Polyethylene Glycol Hydrogels for Nucleus Pulposus Regeneration
(2013)Intervertebral disc (IVD) disorders and age-related degeneration are believed to contribute to low back pain. There is significant interest in cell-based strategies for regenerating the nucleus pulposus (NP) region of the ... -
The Effects of Extracellular Matrix Mechanics and Composition on the Behaviors of Nucleus Pulposus Cells from the Intervertebral Disc
(2009)Intervertebral disc (IVD) disorders are a major contributor to disability and health costs. Disc disorders and resulting pain may be preceded by changes which first occur in the nucleus pulposus (NP) region of the IVD, ...
