Silk fibroin–collagen hydrogel loaded with IGF1-CESCs attenuates intervertebral disk degeneration by accelerating annulus fibrosus healing in rats

Introduction: The self-healing capacity of a damaged annulus fibrosus (AF) leads to intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration. AF wound treatment is challenging. The combination of biomaterials and stem cell-derived exosomes is a promising wound treatment strategy with significant clinical value.Method...
