Strategies for Annulus Fibrosus Regeneration: From Biological Therapies to Tissue Engineering

Intervertebral disc (IVD) is an avascular tissue which contributes to the weight bearing, motion, and flexibility of spine. However, IVD is susceptible to damage and even failure due to injury, pathology, and aging. Annulus fibrosus (AF), the structural and functional integrity of which is criticall...
