Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the major causes of
lower back pain for which the common therapeutic interventions are
not efficient. A search for alternative therapies for lower back
pain and intervertebral disc degeneration includes cell-based
therapies. Unfortunately, intervertebral disc degeneration is
avascular and thus a hostile environment for cell survival.
Furthermore, cellular characterization in intervertebral disc
degeneration, and particularly in the nucleus pulposus, is
controversial, mainly due to lack of specific markers and species
variability. This book adds to the knowledge on cellular and
molecular therapies for intervertebral disc degeneration and
associated lower back pain. Key Selling Features: Describes the
ontogeny and phenotype of intervertebral disc cells Reviews the
role that inflammation plays in disco-genic pain Highlights the
types of cells that might be used as sources for treating
degenerating intervertebral discs Summarizes current alternative
therapies Explores methods for cell delivery into degenerated
intervertebral discs
