MFG-E8 alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration by suppressing pyroptosis and extracellular matrix degradation in nucleus pulposus cells via Nrf2/TXNIP/NLRP3 axis
Abstract Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a chronic age-related degenerative disease accompanied by complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Increasing evidence indicates that NLRP3 inflammasome mediated pyroptosis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells displays an important role in the pathological...
