DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2017.07.013
Abstract: ABSTRACT Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) patients have a high propensity toward osteogenesis. Histamine receptor H2 (H2R) antagonists (H2 blockers) like famotidine decrease ossification in patients, by an… read more here.
