Macrophage Polarization in Heterotopic Ossification: Inflammation, Osteogenesis, and Emerging Therapeutic Targets
17 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to an abnormal process characterized by the aberrant development of bone within soft tissues, leading to significant impairments in patients' mobility and overall quality of life. Macrophages, as a crucial element of the immune system, are instrumental in the different stages of heterotopic ossification through their dynamic polarization state (pro-inflammatory M1 and...
