MSC-Derived Exosomes Protect Vertebral Endplate Chondrocytes against Apoptosis and Calcification via the miR-31-5p/ATF6 Axis
Apoptosis and calcification of endplate chondrocytes (EPCs) can exacerbate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exosomes) are reported to have the therapeutic potential in IVDD. However, the effects and related mechanisms of MSC-exosomes on EPCs are st...
