D-allose reprogrammes the mitophagy–mtDNA–cGAS–STING–ADM2 axis to restore nucleus pulposus cell homeostasis in intervertebral disc degeneration

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is driven by progressive loss of nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) homeostasis, yet the stress-responsive mechanisms governing this process remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify a mitochondrial stress-innate immune signalling axis in whi...
