Regulation of Human Nucleus Pulposus Cell Phenotype and Behavior by Laminin-Mimetic Peptide Substrates

<p>Intervertebral disc (IVD) disorders can cause pain and disability for affected individuals. A subset of IVD disorders are thought to originate in the nucleus pulposus (NP) region of the IVD, due to alterations in tissue structure and composition with age and injury. Cells of the NP undergo...
