The Responses of Autophagy and Apoptosis to Oxidative Stress in Nucleus Pulposus Cells: Implications for Disc Degeneration

Background/Aims: Apoptosis and autophagy are two patterns of programmed cell death which play important roles in the intervertebral disc degeneration. Oxidative stress is an important factor for the induction of programmed cell death. However, the cellular reactions linking autophagy to apoptosis of...
