Investigation of a Translatable Animal Model in Order to Understand the Etiology of Heterotopic Ossification

Abstract

Our team has spent the first year of this grant obtaining all of the necessary approvals (primary site and HRPO institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC)), executing a subaward agreement with the University of Utah, procuring supplies, designing and implementing an air impact device (AID), piloting with carcasses, ensuring the noise from our AID could be attenuated and not disturb other animals in the facility, and initiating the beginning phases of animal work. The majority of animals are still being monitored and tissues are being processed for those that have reached the endpoint.
