Dead muscle tissue promotes dystrophic calcification by lowering circulating TGF-β1 level: implications for post-traumatic heterotopic ossification

AIMS: Dystrophic calcification (DC) is the abnormal appearance of calcified deposits in degenerating tissue, often associated with injury. Extensive DC can lead to heterotopic ossification (HO), a pathological condition of ectopic bone formation. The highest rate of HO was found in combat-related bl...
