Narrowband ultraviolet B radiation attenuates nucleus pulposus pyroptosis to ameliorate intervertebral disc degeneration by activating NRF2/KEAP1 antioxidant pathway
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a major cause of low back pain, with nucleus pulposus (NP) cell pyroptosis—a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome—playing a crucial role in its pathogenesis by trigg…
