Abstract excerpt
Human skeletal progenitors were engineered to stably express R201C mutated, constitutively active Gs alpha using lentiviral vectors. Long-term transduced skeletal progenitors were characterized by an enhanced production of cAMP, indicating the transfer of the fundamental cellular phenotype caused by activating mutations of Gs alpha. Like skeletal progenitors isolated from natural fibrous dysplasia (FD) lesions,...
