Regenerative and immunogenic characteristics of cultured nucleus pulposus cells from human cervical intervertebral discs.

Cell-based regenerative approaches have been suggested as primary or adjuvant procedures for the treatment of degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD) diseases. Our aim was to evaluate the regenerative and immunogenic properties of mildly and severely degenerated cervical nucleus pulposus (NP) cells wi...
