Hypertrophy of the lumbar ligamentum flavum is associated with inflammation-related TGF-β expression
2011
Background
Despite the significance of hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum (HLF) in the disease progress of neurogenic claudication, the cellular mechanisms underlying the gradual fibrotic thickening of the ligamentum flavum remain poorly understood. The aim of our study was to get insight into the contribution of inflammatory mechanisms to the development of hypertrophy.
