In a new study published in Bone Research, a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University and colleagues, using a combination of lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), has ...

This week, we are going to discuss a condition that occurs after trauma and surgery as well as after traumatic injuries to the head, neck and spine. The condition? Heterotopic ossification.

Blocking a molecule that draws sensory nerves into musculoskeletal injuries prevents heterotopic ossification (HO), a process in which bone abnormally grows in soft tissue during healing, researchers ...

Garetosmab reduced new heterotopic bone lesions in patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva at 56 weeks compared ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered a protein that appears to be pivotal for traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO), a condition in which bone forms in muscles, ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair ...

Bone regeneration research has taken a significant leap forward with the discovery of a crucial mechanism that could transform treatments for bone disorders. Scientists have identified how Discoidin ...

Queensland researchers have solved the century-old mystery of why patients who suffer severe spinal cord and brain injuries develop debilitating bone growths around joints such as hips and shoulders.

This article was produced for Ipsen by Scientific American Custom Media, a division separate from the magazine's board of editors. Additional bone growth, or heterotopic ossification, is visible ...
