Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the effects of mesenchymal stem cells and extracellular vesicles on disc degeneration.
Mesenchymal stem cells are initially isolated and cultured from tissue samples, and during culture, extracellular vesicles are generated in the medium, collected, isolated and purified. Resuspended extracellular vesicles are delivered to degenerating discs via intradiscal injection. MSC: Mesenchymal stem cell; NPC: Nucleus pulposus cell; ECM: Extracellular matrix.
