Abstract:
Intervertebral disc degeneration is main cause of various spinal degenerative conditions, and results in a significant socio-economic burden and morbidity to those affected. Intervertebral disc degeneration is a multifactorial process that has no known curative method. Hence, various factors that cause intervertebral disc degeneration, especially biochemical ones, were discussed in this study.
