• Identification of tenochondral ossification sequence
• Heterotopic ossification in Achilles tendinopathy
• Histological and molecular characterization

"A study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research (May 2026) identifies a tenochondral ossification sequence leading to heterotopic ossification in human Achilles tendinopathy. The work describes the bone formation process within tendon tissue, offering new insights into pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for calcific tendinopathy."
