Isolation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Human Ligamentum Flavum

Abstract

The current results demonstrated the isolation of MSCs from LF. The cellular response to TGF-β1 implied that these cells might play an important role in the pathogenesis of LF hypertrophy. TSA, which blocks the effects of TGF-β1, may be a potent therapeutic choice for inhibiting LF hypertrophy.
