[The basic research of lumbar herniated disc].
Various genes are reported as one of a key gene for lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration. The cross-talk between inflammatory cells and disc cells results in generation of many inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and proteinases. In near future, a new strategy for the treatment of disc degeneration and herniated disc should be developed based on current evidences.
