Development and characterization of antacid microcapsules to buffer the acidic intervertebral disc microenvironment
(2024)During intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, microenvironmental challenges such as decreasing levels of glucose, oxygen, and pH play crucial roles in cell survival and matrix turnover. Antacids, such as Mg(OH)2 and CaCO3, ... -
Modulation of Inflammation and Regeneration in the Intervertebral Disc Using Enhanced Cell-Penetrating Peptides for MicroRNA Delivery
(2024)Back pain is a global epidemiological and socioeconomic problem affecting up to 80% of people at some stage during their life and is often due to degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD). Therapies aimed at restoring ... -
Harmonization and standardization of nucleus pulposus cell extraction and culture methods
(2023)Background In vitro studies using nucleus pulposus (NP) cells are commonly used to investigate disc cell biology and pathogenesis, or to aid in the development of new therapies. However, lab-to-lab variability jeopardizes ... -
Promoting endogenous articular cartilage regeneration using extracellular matrix scaffolds
(2022)Articular cartilage defects fail to heal spontaneously, typically progressing to osteoarthritis. Bone marrow stimulation techniques such as microfracture (MFX) are the current surgical standard of care; however MFX typically ... -
Bilayered extracellular matrix derived scaffolds with anisotropic pore architecture guide tissue organization during osteochondral defect repair
(2022)While some clinical advances in cartilage repair have occurred, osteochondral (OC) defect repair remains a significant challenge, with current scaffold-based approaches failing to recapitulate the complex, hierarchical ... -
