Researchers from Nanchang University Publish New Studies and Findings in the Area of Heterotopic Ossification (Role of hedgehog signaling in the pathogenesis and therapy of heterotopic ossification).

A report from Nanchang University in China discusses the role of hedgehog signaling in the development and treatment of heterotopic ossification (HO), a condition where bone forms in soft tissues. The researchers explain that hedgehog signaling is a pathway involved in embryonic development and skeletal development. They identify several signaling molecules that are involved in hedgehog-mediated processes and discuss potential therapeutic options for HO, including hedgehog inhibitors. The research provides insights into the pathogenesis and therapy of heterotopic ossification. [Extracted from the article]
