BMP Ligand Trap ALK3-Fc Attenuates Osteogenesis and Heterotopic Ossification in Blast-Related Lower Extremity Trauma
1 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Traumatic heterotopic ossification (tHO) commonly develops in wounded service members who sustain high-energy and blast-related traumatic amputations. Currently, no safe and effective preventive measures have been identified for this patient population. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling blockade has previously been shown to reduce ectopic bone formation in genetic models of HO. In this study, we...
