Over-expression of wild-type <i>ACVR1</i> in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva mice rescues perinatal lethality and inhibits heterotopic ossification
2021-12-08
Abstract excerpt
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a devastating disease of progressive heterotopic bone formation for which effective treatments are currently unavailable. FOP is caused by dominant gain-of-function mutations in the receptor ACVR1 (also known as ALK2), which render the receptor inappropriately responsive to activin ligands. In previous studies, we developed a genetic mouse model of FOP that recapitula...
