Popis: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is characterized by an unbalanced cell catabolic/anabolic activity and cell death, resulting in the degradation of extracellular matrix components and water loss. Repopulating the IVD with new cells may help in recovering tissue homeostasis and reverting the degenerative process. In this study the regenerative potential of a hyaluronan (HA)-based chemoattractant delivery system able to recruit mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded on the cartilaginous endplate (CEP) of IVD was explored. A HA delivery system containing stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) (5 ng/μL) (HAPSDF5) was injected in the cavity of nucleotomized bovine discs. Human MSCs (1 × 10
