Cadherin-Mediated Cell-Cell Interactions Regulates Phenotype And Morphology of Nucleus Pulposus Cells Of The Intervertebral Disc

<p>Juvenile nucleus pulposus (NP) cells of the intervertebral disc (IVD) are large, vacuolated cells that form cell clusters with numerous cell-cell interactions. With maturation and aging, NP cells lose their ability to form these cell clusters, with associated changes in NP cell phenotype, m...
