Xiao H, Wang K, Peng L, Yin ZAbstract
Low back pain (LBP) caused by intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a significant global health concern. It is necessary to investigate the underlying pathological mechanisms leading to IVDD and develop precise treatment strategies for this condition. Considering the well-established anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce oxidative stress in various diseases, for the first time we aim to explore the potential of Laquinimod in alleviating IVDD.
