Suppression of osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells from patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament by a histamine-2-receptor antagonist

·doi:10.1016/j.ejphar.2017.07.013

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 …
