Growth differentiation factor-6 attenuates inflammatory and pain-related factors and degenerated disc-induced pain behaviors in rat model

Haowen Cui et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that GDF6 can improve the structure of the intervertebral disc, inhibit the expression of inflammatory and pain-related factors, and improve pain behavior in rats. Comprehensive data are needed to validate the regenerative properties of GDF6 for further preclinical research and clinical trials, with the aim of achieving optimal clinical outcomes.

Small molecule-based treatment approaches for intervertebral disc degeneration: Current options and future directions

Amir Kamali et al.

Summary: Low back pain is a major cause of disability, with symptomatic intervertebral disc degeneration contributing to a significant portion of cases. Current treatments often fail to address the root problem, leading to a need for novel therapies. Small molecule-based therapy shows potential in treating intervertebral disc degeneration, but is still in its early stages of development.
