2018

Beeravolu et al. [82]

WJMSCs differentiate into CPCs

Rabbit IDD model

8 weeks

NP-specific markers genes express more significantly in CPCs group

2020

McKee et al. [91]

Human WJMSCs + degenerative rabbit NP cells + scaffold

Rabbit IDD model

8 weeks

Promote WJMSCs differentiating into NP cells, avoid cell leakage and complications

2016

Chen et al. [92]

Human NPSCs/NP cells

Rabbit IDD model

8 weeks

NPSCs have better IVD repair effect than NP cells

2021

Marimuthu et al. [93]

Rat NPSCs

Allogeneic rat IDD model

21 days

NPSCs regenerative ability is stronger, MSCs anabolic activity↑and catabolic activity ↓, allotransplantation cause pro-inflammatory effect stronger

2009

Sheikh et al. [94]

Rat ESCs

Rabbit IDD model

8 weeks

Generate NCs

2020

Hu et al. [90]

Transfected human IPSCs + GDF-5 hydrogel

Rat IDD model

3 months

IDD symptoms improve both in imaging and histology

2021

Sun et al. [95]

Transfect human IPSCs to IMSCs

Rat IDD model

8 weeks

NP cells senescence delay, and restore the age-related function, activate SIRT6 pathway, downregulate PDE4D level
