Annulus fibrosus cell sheets limit disc degeneration in a rat annulus fibrosus injury model

Abstract In recent years, studies have explored novel approaches for cell transplantation to enable annulus fibrosus (AF) regeneration of the intervertebral disc in particular for lumbar disc herniation. Nevertheless, successful engraftment of cells is structurally challenging, and no definitive met...
