Abstract in brief

The text describes an innovative biodegradable scaffold for spinal disc repair, inspired by cucumber tendrils, made from a shape memory polymer called polyglyceroldodecanoate (PGD), which mimics the mechanical properties of the human nucleus pulposus (NP).
The scaffold is designed to be minimally invasive, promote regeneration by immobilizing the chemokine SDF1 to recruit stem cells from peripheral tissue, and improve disc health without damaging adjacent spinal segments.
This approach offers a promising new method for treating irreversible tissue injuries like degenerating spinal discs, combining biodegradability, structural support, and regenerative capabilities.]
