[Research progress of mesenchymal stem cells induced to differentiate intervertebral disc cells].
OBJECTIVE
To review the study progress of mesenchymal stem cells induced to differentiate intervertebral disc cells.


METHODS
The recent related literature was reviewed. The theorical and experimental studies were summarized.


RESULTS
MSCs had the potential of multi-directional differentiation. International experimental studies indicated the potential of MSCs induced to differentiate intervertebral disc cells.


CONCLUSIONS
MSCs induced to differentiate intervertebral disc cells has the fine prospect.
