Researchers show how damaged tissue is reshaped to trigger painful bone formation in muscles and tendons CHINA, ...

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.

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to nonunion ...

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 ...

Hip replacements, severe burns, spinal cord injuries, blast injuries, traumatic brain injuries—these seemingly disparate traumas can each lead to a painful complication during the healing process ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
