Investigating the Possibility of Intervertebral Disc Regeneration Induced by Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor-Stimulated Stem Cells in Rats
Figure 1
Intervertebral disc height (DHI) was calculated by averaging the measurements obtained from the anterior, middle, and posterior portions of the IVD and dividing that by the average of adjacent vertebral body heights. We found ChABC injection resulted in no significant change at 3 weeks after injection; however, some early osteophyte formation with decrease in DHI was disclosed at 6 weeks after injection.
