Biomimetic Hydrogels for In Vitro Modelling of Nucleus Pulposus Degeneration: Effects of Extracellular Matrix Compositional Change on Physicochemical Properties and Cell Phenotype

The intervertebral disc, an anatomical compartment interposed between vertebral bodies, plays a key role in spine flexibility and compression loading. It comprises three tissues: the nucleus pulposus, the annulus fibrosus, and the end plates. Degeneration-related changes in the extracellular matrix...
