Fig. 3 Engineering components for IVD repair and regeneration. The upper left panel shows a healthy human disc and the upper right panel shows a degenerated disc. This has been reproduced with permission from Elsevier.1 Below are depicted the main approaches towards regenerative medicine, i.e. the application of biomaterials, regenerative factors inhibiting inflammation and exogenously added cells.

This permission has now been granted and the correct figure caption and full citation can be seen here.
