This Special Issue on intervertebral disc (IVD) regeneration focuses on novel advances in understanding the cell sources and culture conditions of various cell types, i.e., progenitor and IVD cells. The issue consists of seven articles that provide a comprehensive overview of recently applied research insights: (1) into how IVD herniation can be provoked in a controlled in vitro biomechanical testing set-up, (2) how cells can be used for IVD repair, (3) the physiological conditions of IVD cells and (4) how hyaluronic acid could be used for IVD repair, and (5) how nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) shall be cultured and expanded towards a possible cell therapy.
