Single-cell multi-omics analysis identifies SPP1+ macrophages as key drivers of ferroptosis-mediated fibrosis in ligamentum flavum hypertrophy

Abstract Background Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH) is a primary contributor to lumbar spinal stenosis. However, a thorough understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving LFH fibrotic progression remains incomplete. Methods Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to...
