Chondroitinase ABC (C-ABC) is used in chemonucleolysis to degrade, with great specificity, the chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate chains of proteoglycans (PGs). A recent study showed that osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1) is very effective in stimulating the production and formation of the extracellular matrix by rabbit intervertebral disc cells.To test the hypothesis that the repair of the extracellular...
Recent advances in our understanding of the biologic makeup and environment of the intervertebral disc (IVD) have led to increased interest in the development of novel treatments for disc degeneration. Certain genes found to alter rates of matrix synthesis and catabolism within the disc have provided targets for scientists seeking to alter the balance between the two. To this end, gene therapy has...
