The Notochordal Cell in the Nucleus Pulposus: A Review in the Context of Tissue Engineering
Abstract
An understanding of developmental biology can provide useful insights into how different tissue-engineered repairs might be designed. During embryogenesis of the intervertebral disk, the cells of the notochord play a critical role in initiating tissue formation, and may be responsible for development of the nucleus pulposus. In some species, including humans, these notochordal cells may eventually be lost, either through apoptosis or terminal differentiation, and are replaced by chondrocyte-like cells. However, there is some evidence that the notochordal cells may persist in at least some humans. This review discusses some of the potential applications of notochordal cells in tissue engineering of the nucleus pulposus.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
