FSTL1 accelerates nucleus pulposus-derived mesenchymal stem cell apoptosis in intervertebral disc degeneration by activating TGF-β-mediated Smad2/3 phosphorylation

Abstract Background Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is the leading cause of low back pain, and repair using nucleus pulposus-derived mesenchymal stem cells (NP-MSCs) represents a promising therapeutic approach. However, both endogenous and transplanted NP-MSCs demonstrate limited proliferati...
