Check out this recent review by Jordy Schol & coauthors, which highlights the clinical significant differences obtainable through cell and PRP injections against #backpain: onlinelibrary.wiley....

Illustration presenting the general structure of the intervertebral disc (IVD) and the impact of disc degeneration and cell therapy-derived regeneration. (A) A healthy IVD as an entire unit, including the nucleus pulposus (NP), annulus fibrosis (AF), and vertebra with facet-joints. (B) Progression of disc degeneration illustrated by loss of matrix quality, AF-organization, loss of endplate permeability, and NP cell viability and activity, which in turn may promote nerve ingrowth. (C) Transplantation of de novo cells or PRP products into the disc, vertebrae, or epidural space, may support (D) regeneration of the IVD as hallmarked by improvement in cell quantity and quality, tissue organization, nerve ingrowth and sensitization, biomechanical features, and disc features such as height and hydration. AF, anulus fibrosus; IVD, intervertebral disc; NP, nucleus pulposus; PRP, platelet-rich plasma.

Restoring articular cartilage: insights from structure, composition and development

Nature Reviews Rheumatology, Published online: 28 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41584-025-01236-7Insights from the composition, structure and development of articular cartilage are key for long-term therapeutic strategies to restore articular cartilage. The authors emphasize that future therapies should replicate the depth-dependent alignment of collagen and its interactions with the extracellular matrix to produce implants that mimic the biomechanical properties of cartilage.
