Discovery of a peripheral Myh11-expressing nucleus pulposus cell population demontrating therapeutic potential for disc degeneration

Continual turnover of nucleus pulposus (NP) cellularity is critical for maintaining intervertebral disc (IVD) homeostasis; however, the presence and identity of potential progenitor cells within the NP remain unclear. This study identifies NP cells expressing myosin heavy chain 1...
