The purpose of the present study is to assess the possibility of disc regeneration by treatment with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in a rabbit model of degenerative disc disease, and to evaluate the efficacy of a percutaneous technique for constructing a model of degenerative disc disease in rabbits. ⋯ These results suggest that the injection of ADSCs into injured lumbar discs could be an effective treatment for degenerative disc disease by promoting the cartilage regeneration.
