Understanding muscle-immune interactions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a feasibility study
Abstract
BackgroundAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of scoliosis in children, and its cause remains unknown. The Immune-metabolic CONnections to Scoliosis (ICONS) Study was designed to elucidate the potential mechanisms by which immune system-paraspinal muscle crosstalk contributes to the development of AIS.
