Back pain and radiculopathy caused by disc herniation are major health issues worldwide. While macrophages are key players in disc herniation induced inflammation, their roles and origin in disease progression remain unclear. We aim to study the roles of monocytes and derivatives in a mouse model of disc herniation.
