Core Tip Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been focused on the condition that is linked to several pathological condition, but no effective treatment has been reported so far. Due to the limitations of mesenchymal stem cell-based trials for IDD regeneration, extracellular vesicle or microRNAs derived from mesenchymal stem cell have been evaluated as the next generation of therapeutic option for IDD. Thus, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview regarding the IDD including anatomical considerations and therapeutic trials with a particular focus on extracellular vesicles and microRNAs. The authors also discuss the challenges and future directions in translating these innovative therapies into clinical practice.
