Abstract excerpt
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by abnormal bone formation due to ACVR1 gene mutations. The identification of the molecular mechanisms underlying the ectopic bone formation and expansion in FOP is critical for the effective treatment or prevention of HO. Here we find that Hh signaling activation is required for the aberrant ectopic bone formation in FOP. We...
