Abstract

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is a good seed cell,and it is widely used in intervertebral disc tissue engineering research.The improvement of cellular scaffolds,cell factors and further understanding of intervertebral disc (IVD) cell pathophysiology and BMSCs biology have laid the foundation for cell-based therapies for IVD degeneration.However,BMSCs repairing IVD is still in the early stage of research,at present there are still many problems,one of the most prominent is the survival of transplanted cells.This review mainly introduces the current research status of BMSCs in IVD tissue engineering.
