Abstract
Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of compositions and methods for the generation of a supporting matrix for cells, such as stem cells and NP cells (and precursors thereof). For example, an NP cell-specific phenotype precursor cell can be an adult NP cell, such as a cell taken from the adult and degenerated intervertebral disc and/or a progenitor cell, such as stem cells, induced pluripotent cells, pluripotent cells, precursor cells, or stromal cells.
