Abstract excerpt
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a very rare genetic disease characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) of soft tissues, leading to immobility and premature death. FOP is caused by a mutation in the Activin receptor Type 1 (ACVR1) gene, resulting in altered responsiveness to Activin-A. We recently revealed that Activin-A induces fewer, but larger and more active, osteoclasts...
