Vascular patterning in human heterotopic ossification.

TLDR
Human HO demonstrates a time- and space-dependent pattern of vascularization suggesting a coupled pathophysiologic process involving the coordinate processes of osteogenesis and angiogenesis, and whether anti-angiogenic therapies are a conceivable future therapy for this common condition.

Heterotopic Ossification: A Comprehensive Review.

TL;DR: This comprehensive review seeks to synthesize the clinical, pathoetiologic, and basic biologic features of HO, including nongenetic and genetic forms, as well as current concepts regarding the mechanistic bases for HO.

Macrophages in heterotopic ossification: from mechanisms to therapy

TL;DR: In this article, the role of macrophages in HO is discussed and a review of the molecular mechanisms through which macrophage participate in MSC osteogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, and the hypoxic microenvironment.

Skeleton-vasculature chain reaction: a novel insight into the mystery of homeostasis.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the role of endocrine regulatory loops between bone and the vasculature in angiogenesis and osteogenesis is presented, and a deeper understanding of the cellular and molecular regulation of these processes may offer an opportunity to identify new therapeutic targets.

Effects of hydrogen peroxide on biological characteristics and osteoinductivity of decellularized and demineralized bone matrices.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that the BMP-2 in DCDBMs could be the target of H2 O2, which could be expected to be used as a promising scaffold for tissue engineering and significantly reduced osteoinductivity in HPTBMs.

Heterotopic Ossification: Basic-Science Principles and Clinical Correlates.

TL;DR: Heterotopic ossification occurs most commonly after joint arthroplasty, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, blast trauma, elbow and acetabular fractures, and thermal injury.

Heterotopic ossification following traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury.

TL;DR: Heterotopic ossification can result in a variety of complications, including nerve impingement, joint ankylosis, complex regional pain syndrome, osteoporosis, and softtissue infection, which can greatly limit activities of daily living.
