Layered gel improved spinal disc structure and function in rats
An experiment in rats with severe spinal disc degeneration found that a cell-carrying gel promoted new tissue formation and outperformed cells or a support scaffold…An experiment in rats with severe spinal disc degeneration found that a cell-carrying gel promoted new tissue formation and outperformed cells or a support scaffold alone.
