Description: This presentation will explore the therapeutic potential of Link N, a novel peptide which targets intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and osteoarthritis (OA). Link N uniquely combines tissue regeneration with anti-inflammatory effects, reversing structural damage and directly alleviating pain. Recent research findings on its efficacy in restoring disc height, cartilage integrity, and reducing inflammation will be highlighted, showcasing its potential to transform treatment strategies for IVDD and OA.
