Current treatments, like surgery and pain management, fail to address the IVD degeneration that is associated with the deterioration of the nucleus pulposus (NP). We aim to develop an injectable cell therapy for LBP using human nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) encapsulated in hydrogel microparticles (microgels) as a cell delivery vehicle. The thermoresponsive hydrogels enabled cell encapsulation and preconditioning without the use of ultraviolet irradiation or cytotoxic cross-linkers. The in vitro preconditioning maintained cell viability and promoted type 2 collagen secretion. In a rat IVD degeneration model, NPCs were encapsulated in fibrinogen-based hydrogels at 10 million cells\/mL, preconditioned for 7 days, and injected into degenerated discs. Evaluations of disc height using \u03bcCT, gene expression using RT-qPCR on the harvested IVD and dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and histology showed that NPC-loaded microgels increased IVD height and reduced pain-related gene expressions compared to controls. Our findings demonstrate that NPC-loaded microgels have the potential to alleviate pain and regenerate IVDs, suggesting minimally invasive treatment for discogenic LBP and future clinical applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsabm.6c00375","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T13:20:07Z","timestamp":1785849607000},"page":"7398-7408","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Injectable
