Objectives/hypothesis: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a bioengineered prosthesis with allogenic heterotopic fibroblasts for cricoid regeneration.
Study Design: Experimental study using a rat model.
Methods: Bioengineered prosthetic grafts consisting of collagen sponge, polypropylene mesh, collagen gel, and allogenic dermal fibroblasts were implanted into rat cricoid defects. Control grafts were composed of collagen sponge and polypropylene mesh. Regenerated subglottic tissue was subsequently examined histologically.
Results: Epithelization and changes of collagen fibers occurred more rapidly in the bioengineered model than in the control model. Neogenetic cartilage was observed to form around the ends of cricoid cartilage in both models.
Conclusions: Heterotopic fibroblasts appear to accelerate epithelial and subepithelial regeneration in a rat model.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to the abnormal formation of bone in non-skeletal tissues. Fibroblasts have traditionally been viewed as stationary cells primarily responsible for producing extracellular matrix during tissue repair and fibrosis. However, recent discoveries regarding their plasticity-encompassing roles in inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and osteogenesis-highlight their potential as key contributors to the development of HO.

Background: Intermuscular bones (IBs) are segmental intramembranous ossifications located within myosepta. They share similarities with tendon ossification, a form of heterotopic ossification (HO). The mechanisms underlying IB formation remain incompletely understood.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) in Achilles tendon often arises due to endochondral ossification during the healing process following trauma. Retinoic acid receptor γ (RARγ) plays a critical role in this phenomenon. This study aims to elucidate the therapeutic effects of CD1530, an RARγ selective agonist, along with the contributing cells, in Achilles tendon healing, utilizing a cell lineage tracing system.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers developed a genetic mouse model (Enpp1/EIIa-Cre mice) to study how the absence of the Enpp1 gene affects tissue, leading to conditions like ossification in the spine and Achilles tendons, and degeneration in the knee.
- * Findings revealed that Enpp1 deficiency enhances bone growth and fibroblast activity, while also promoting signs of cellular aging and increased hedgehog signaling, linking age-related mutations to worsened ossification and joint degeneration.*

Heterotopic ossification of the elbow (HOE) is a complicated pathologic process characterized by extra bone formation in the elbow. Bone formation is a complex developmental process involving the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts. The aim of this study was to explore the cellular origin and progression of HOE by single-cell RNA sequencing.
