BMP-dependent, injury-induced stem cell niche as a mechanism of heterotopic ossification

Abstract Background Heterotopic ossification (HO), either acquired (aHO) or hereditary, such as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), is a serious condition without effective treatment. Understanding of the core process of injury-induced HO is still severely limited. Methods Double-pulse thym...
