Macrophages Down-Regulate Gene Expression of Intervertebral Disc Degenerative Markers Under a Pro-inflammatory Microenvironment
3 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Low back pain is a highly prevalent clinical problem and intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is now accepted as the major pathophysiological mechanism responsible for this condition. Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammation plays a crucial role in the progression of human IVD degeneration, with macrophages being pointed as the key immune cell players in this process since their infiltration in...
