Overview of Stem Cell Therapy in Intervertebral Disc Disease: Clinical Perspective

Ayshe Hajiesmailpoor et al.

Summary: Intervertebral Disc Degeneration (IDD) is a common pathological condition caused by an imbalance of anabolic and catabolic metabolisms in the Intervertebral Disc (IVD), leading to changes in the Extracellular Matrix (ECM), impaired metabolic regulation of Nucleus Pulposus (NP), and increased oxidative stress. IDD is associated with back and neck pain, and current interventions lack the ability to inhibit its progression and restore IVD function. Stem cell-based therapies show promise in regenerating IVD and restoring cellular function, and have been the focus of clinical trials and preliminary studies on biological disc repair.

Summary: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common pathological process that leads to lower back pain. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in disc degeneration is crucial for the development of lumbar disc intervention strategies. This article explores the relationship between the intervertebral disc and the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as the role of ECM proteolysis in the degenerative process. Targeting proteases associated with ECM proteolysis could be an effective intervention approach for IDD.

Summary: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a result of imbalanced anabolic and catabolic processes in the disc, naturally occurring with age. Current treatments lack the ability to stop disease progression or restore functionality, while stem cell-derived exosomes show potential as a therapeutic option.

Cell Interplay in Osteoarthritis

Zihao Li et al.

Summary: Osteoarthritis is a common chronic disease that affects cartilage and entire joint tissues. Understanding the complex crosstalk among different joint tissues is critical in elucidating the pathogenic mechanism of OA. This review provides a comprehensive summary of key cells involved in OA pathogenesis and discusses their communication mechanisms and therapeutic potential.

microRNA-129-5p shuttled by mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration via blockade of LRG1-mediated p38 MAPK activation

Shaoqian Cui et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that MSC-derived EVs delivering miR-129-5p alleviated IDD by targeting LRG1 and suppressing the p38 MAPK signaling pathway, providing a novel therapeutic approach for IDD.

Functional characterization of the immunomodulatory properties of human urine-derived stem cells

Rongpei Wu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that USCs possess high expression of MSC markers and lack expression of hematopoietic stem cell markers, exhibiting MSC phenotype. USCs secreted immunoregulatory cytokines and possessed immunomodulatory properties comparable to those of BMSCs.
