Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Contribution to Ectopic Skeletogenesis
1 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare genetic disorder of ectopic skeletogenesis associated with dysregulation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. Hematopoietic cells have been implicated in the ectopic skeletogenesis of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, and their replacement has been postulated as a possible cure. However, the definitive contribution of hematopoietic cells...
