A Glucocorticoid Spike Derails Muscle Repair to Heterotopic Ossification After Spinal Cord Injury

Academic Background and Problem Statement Neurogenic Heterotopic Ossification (NHO) is a pathological condition where ectopic bone tissue forms in muscles following severe central nervous system (CNS) injuries, such as spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), or stroke. NHO not only impairs motor function but can also lead to joint s...
