Isolation and characterisation of a recombinant antibody fragment that binds NCAM1-expressing intervertebral disc cells.

Degeneration of the intervertebral discs (IVD) is a leading cause of neck and low back pain. Degeneration begins in the central nucleus pulposus region, leading to loss of IVD osmotic properties. Regeneration approaches include administration of matrix-mimicking scaffolds, cells and/or therapeutic f...
