INHIBITION OF PATHOLOGICAL BONE FORMATION

摘要

Described are methods of inhibiting heterotopic ossification (HO) in a subject in need thereof. The methods involve administering an effective amount of a proprioception inhibitor to the subject, whereby HO is inhibited or prevented. The present invention also relates to a method of treating a subject with bone trauma. This involves administering a proprioception inhibitor to the subject under conditions effective to treat the bone trauma, where the proprioception inhibitor prevents or inhibits HO.
