Monocytic fibrocyte-like cell enrichment and myofibroblastic adaptation causes nucleus pulposus fibrosis and associates with disc degeneration severity
2024-01-17
Abstract excerpt
Fibrotic remodeling of nucleus pulposus (NP) leads to structural and mechanical anomalies of intervertebral discs that prone to degeneration, leading to low back pain incidence and disability. Emergence of fibroblastic cells in disc degeneration has been reported, yet their nature and origin remain elusive. In this study, we performed an integrative analysis of multiple single-cell RNA sequencing datasets to inter...
