Contemporary perspectives on heterotopic ossification

This 2022 review explores the mechanisms and management of heterotopic ossification (HO), distinguishing between trauma-induced (tHO) and genetic forms like fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The study highlights that both forms involve reactivation of developmental bone pathways, including intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Current prophylactic treatments include NSAIDs for tHO and glucocorticoids

Is L-methionine a trigger factor for Alzheimer’s-like neurodegeneration?: Changes in Aβ oligomers, tau phosphorylation, synaptic proteins, Wnt signaling and behavioral impairment in wild-type mice

This animal study investigated the effects of elevated L-methionine levels on neurodegeneration, specifically looking at Alzheimer’s-like pathologies in wild-type mice. The study found that high methionine levels led to increased amyloid-β oligomer formation, tau phosphorylation, and disruption in synaptic proteins, mimicking neurodegenerative changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest
