OK... I should have read the entire article! 
 
This will be interesting.  If they inject the gel and successfully 'seal' the disc, that will not resolve the issues related to the endplates no longer hydrating the disc and degenerated nucleus material.  Will the gel remain as something like a pseudo nucleus? 
 
My guess is that this will be much like so many other of the promising treatments.... that most of us will be too far down the degenerative cascade for this to be effective.  I hope I'm wrong.
