(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Ameliorates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Through Reprogramming of the Circadian Clock

The circadian clock is vital in the management of our daily physiological as well as metabolic processes. Disturbances of the clock can cause degenerative and age-related diseases. Increasing evidence has indicated that the intervertebral discs contain an internal biological clock related to degener...
