MRI analysis. a Representative MRI scans of the discs from the WJC transplanted group (TS group), degenerated control groups (FS and DS groups), and intact disc group (CS group) at 0, 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks after the first operation. b Disc relative gray index (RGI) at 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 weeks after the first operation. Note: RGI in the WJC transplanted discs (TS group) was significantly higher than those of the discs in the FS and DS groups at 8, 12, 18, and 24 weeks after the first operation. Each data point represents the mean and standard deviation of 18 samples (*p < 0.05, n = 18)
