Abstract

Intervertebral Disc Degeneration A biomimetic peptide (OAFF) binds to C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1) and forms fibrous networks on nucleus pulposus stem cells (NPSCs) for mimicking extracellular matrix formation, which induces NPSCs quiescence and ultimately overcomes obstacle in intradiscal injection therapy. More details can be found in article number 2300578 by Lei Wang, Bo Huang, and co-workers.
