Matrine attenuates heterotopic ossification by suppressing TGF-β induced mesenchymal stromal cell migration and osteogenic differentiation

Purpose of the study: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a debilitating disease characterized by extraskeletal bone formation. Active TGF-β recruits mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which contribute to trauma-induced HO. Inhibiting TGF-β induced MSC migration and osteogenic differentiation could be a...
