Purpose: Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSC) from umbilical cords (UC) are of increasing interest for cell therapy in degenerative musculoskeletal disorders as they present little ethical consideration and are reported to contain immune privileged cells, wh...

Journal Article
Sivan, S. S., Hayes, A. J., Wachtel, E., Caterson, B., Merkher, Y., Maroudas, A., …Roberts, S. (2014). Biochemical composition and turnover of the extracellular matrix of the normal and degenerate intervertebral disc. European Spine Journal, 23(S3), 344-353. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00586-013-2767-8

Background The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a complex cartilaginous structure which functions to resist biomechanical loads during spinal movement. It consists of the highly viscous cartilaginous nucleus pulposus, which is surrounded laterally by a...
