Genetic Odyssey to Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament in the Cervical Spine: A Systematic Review [PDF]

Neurospine, 2022
Despite numerous studies, the pathogenesis of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is still unclear. Previous genetic studies proposed variations in genes related to bone and collagen as a cause of OPLL.

Small extracellular vesicle-mediated miR-320e transmission promotes osteogenesis in OPLL by targeting TAK1

Nature Communications, 2022
The pathological mechanisms that lead to Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) are unclear. Here, the authors show that OPLL ligament cells produce small extracellular vesicles that induce ossification via miR-320e/TAK1 signaling in ...
