Article Synopsis
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shows potential for treating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), but its short-lived growth factors limit continuous stimulation of damaged discs.
- This study analyzed the combined use of PRP and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in rabbits with induced early IDD, demonstrating enhanced disc repair compared to PRP alone or a control group.
- Results at 8 weeks post-treatment indicated significant restoration of the degenerated discs in the PRP-BMSC group, suggesting a more effective therapeutic strategy for early IDD recovery.
