- Title
Tissue Engineering the Nucleus Pulposus: Is It Feasible?
- Authors
Dare, Emma V.; Kandel, Rita A.
- Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to restore diseased or damaged tissues of the body and, as such, is the ultimate form of personalized medicine. Cells, scaffolds, and tissue integration together with vascularization are fundamental to the success of this approach. This review provides a synopsis of the current strategies and challenges for regenerative medicine using the nucleus pulposus, a tissue present in the intervertebral disc, as an example. The pathologist may one day be required to provide tissues or cells to facilitate this treatment approach.
