Abstract

Tissue Engineering Diskectomy is a common treatment for herniated or slipped intervertebral disks that can help to alleviate symptoms but does not prevent reherniation or progression of disk degeneration. Sloan et al. developed a two-part, acellular tissue-engineered therapy to prevent degeneration after diskectomy. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the inner region of the disk and applying a photo–cross-linked collagen patch to the outer ring of fibrous tissue healed disk defects and maintained biomechanical support in the lumbar spines of sheep for 6 weeks after diskectomy. Sci. Transl. Med. 12 , eaay2380 (2020).
