VEGFA critically controls neurovascular invasion and chronic low back pain during intervertebral disc degeneration

RG Potter, Hong Joo Moon, Sade W. Clayton, Remy E. Walk, Addison L. Liefer, Liufang Jing, Evan G. Buettmann, Jennifer A. McKenzie, Alec T. Beeve, Erica L. Scheller, Matthew J. Silva, Amber N. Stratman, Lori A. Setton, Munish C. Gupta, Simon Y. Tang

This study shows that VEGFA drives neurovascular invasion in degenerating intervertebral discs and contributes to chronic low back pain, with its inhibition preventing pain behaviors.
