Autophagy in spinal ligament fibroblasts: evidence and possible implications for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament

Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) remain to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the autophagy of spinal ligament fibroblasts derived from patients with OPLL and to examine whether autophagy-associated...
