Modulating notochordal differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells using natural nucleus pulposus tissue matrix.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can differentiate into notochordal cell (NC)-like cells when cultured in the presence of natural porcine nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue matrix. The method promises massive production of high-quality, functional cells to treat degenerative intervertebral di...
