Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research was to inspect our hypothesis "Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) existing in human spinal ligament differentiate into osteoblasts by mistake, resulting in ossification of the ligament tissues."
First, it was proved that MSCs exist in human spinal ligament. Second, it was revealed that MSCs localize around blood vessels in normal tissue, but they distribute over the whole ligament tissue and, especially, ossification front. And third, we revealed the high osteogenicity of MSCs from patient's tissue compared to normal one.
All these results support our hypothesis and indicate an important role of MSCs in ectopic ossification of human spinal ligaments.
