Preserving the Immune‐Privileged Niche of the Nucleus Pulposus: Safeguarding Intervertebral Discs from Degeneration after Discectomy with Synthetic Mucin Hydrogel Injection (Adv. Sci. 43/2024)
Source abstract
Abstract
Mucin Hydrogels The study by Song Chen, Hongji Yan, Bin Li, and co-workers unequivocally establishes the multifaceted utility of mucin hydrogels (Muc-gels), showcasing their efficacy as both a physical shielding barrier and an immune-isolating barrier for nucleus pulposus. This novel dual-functionality presents a promising avenue for mitigating the recurrence rate of discectomy and impeding the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration.
