Mechanical forces drive degenerative spine disease through ROCK signalling
Repetitive mechanical forces on the spine cause spinal ligament hypertrophy through an unknown molecular mechanism. We observed in ligaments obtained from patients undergoing surgical spine decompression that force-driven Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) signalling causes accumulation of myofibroblasts from fibroblasts and show that ROCK signalling inhibitors block this force-dependent molecular mechanism contributing to spinal ligament fibrosis.
期刊介绍:
Nature Biomedical Engineering is an online-only monthly journal that was launched in January 2017. It aims to publish original research, reviews, and commentary focusing on applied biomedicine and health technology. The journal targets a diverse audience, including life scientists who are involved in developing experimental or computational systems and methods to enhance our understanding of human physiology. It also covers biomedical researchers and engineers who are engaged in designing or optimizing therapies, assays, devices, or procedures for diagnosing or treating diseases. Additionally, clinicians, who make use of research outputs to evaluate patient health or administer therapy in various clinical settings and healthcare contexts, are also part of the target audience.
