BMSCs based on matrix hydrogels alleviate IVDD by inhibiting the activation of STAT3 in vivo. (A) Representative MRI images of rat caudal vertebrae. The arrow points to coccygeal vertebrae Co7/Co8. (B) Quantitative analysis of MRI according to the Thompson score in each group. (C) The histopathology of the NP tissue was assessed using an HE staining assay. (D) The results of the HE staining assay were scored. All data are expressed as the means ± SD. (n = 6).
