For patients undergoing surgery for elbow trauma, treatment with the hemostatic drug tranexamic acid (TXA) is associated with a decreased incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO)—a common ...

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.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common post-surgery condition where bone abnormally forms within soft tissues. A new study out of Mass General Brigham assesses the viability of a simple blood test ...

In a new study published on 21 July 2023 by the journal Bone Research, a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University, using a combination of lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA ...

We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), Mrep functions as a pathogenic cell that ...

A new small molecule could treat and prevent excess bone formation. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disease estimated to affect about one in 2 million people worldwide ...

“We set out to ask how bone formation is spatially regulated by studying the molecular mechanisms underlying a genetic disease of ectopic bone formation, progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH)”, ...
