Summary

It is concluded that IVD degeneration has a meaningful effect on the cells in the NP, and although both cell types are able to differentiate into mesenchymal lineages, H- NP cells exhibit significantly greater differentiation toward the chondrogenic lineage and NP-like cells than D-NP cells, displaying greater production of glycosaminoglycans and higher gene expression of aggrecan and collagen IIa.
