FGF2 overrides key pro-fibrotic features of bone marrow stromal cells isolated from Modic type 1 change patients

Extensive extracellular matrix production and increased cell-matrix adhesion by bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are hallmarks of fibrotic alterations in the vertebral bone marrow known as Modic type 1 changes (MC1).
