Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of extraskeletal bone in non-osseous tissues. It
is caused by an injury that stimulates abnormal tissue healing and regeneration, and …

The characterization of fibro/adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) in the skeletal muscle has
contributed to modify the monocentric view of muscle regeneration beyond muscle satellite …

Little is currently known about the effect and mechanism of combined paternal
environmental cadmium (Cd) and high-fat diet (HFD) on offspring cognitive ability. Here …

Aims Vascular calcification (VC) predicts the morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular
diseases. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) osteogenic transdifferentiation is the …

Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA) belongs to the Rho GTPase superfamily, which
was first studied in cancers as one of the essential regulators controlling cellular function …

Heterotopic ossification (HO) denotes the presence of mature bone tissue in soft tissues or
around joints. Inflammation is a key driver of traumatic HO, and macrophages play an …

The aging of the immune system, or immunosenescence, was recently verified to have a
causal role in driving the aging of solid organs, while the senolytic elimination of senescent …

Muscular dystrophies are genetic diseases characterized by chronic inflammation and
fibrosis. Macrophages are immune cells that sustain muscle regeneration upon acute injury …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked progressive disorder associated with
muscle wasting and degeneration. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene that …

Vascular calcification (VC) has emerged as a key predictor of cardiovascular events in
patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In recent years, an expanding body of research …
