Injectable ECM-mimetic dynamic hydrogels abolish ferroptosis-induced post-discectomy herniation through delivering nucleus pulposus progenitor cell-derived exosomes

Abstract Discectomy-induced ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) contributes to postoperative lumbar disc herniation (LDH) recurrence and intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). We discover that nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) could imprint ferroptosis resistance into NPCs through...
