Paraspinal muscle gene expression across different aetiologies in individuals undergoing surgery for lumbar spine pathology

[摘要] Purpose The purpose of this study was to understand potential baseline transcriptional expression differences in paraspinal skeletal muscle from patients with different underlying lumbar pathologies by comparing multifidus gene expression profiles across individuals with either disc herniation, facet arthropathy, or degenerative spondylolisthesis.
