Support of Concept That Migrating Progenitor Cells From Stem Cell Niches Contribute to Normal Regeneration of the Adult Mammal Intervertebral Disc A Descriptive Study in the New Zealand White Rabbit

Abstract

Conclusion. The results suggest a cellular MR from the IVD stem cell niche toward the annulus fibrosus and the inner parts of the IVD. These findings may be of importance for understanding IVD regenerative mechanisms and for future development of biological treatment strategies.
