Activation of PPARγ redirects fibro-adipogenic progenitors to replace ectopic bone with fat in models of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and trauma-induced heterotopic ossification

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The pathologic, osteogenic differentiation of fibroadipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) is the primary recognized contributor to ectopic bone formation in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and trauma-induced heterotopic ossification (HO). Both conditions are characterized by up-regulated BMP signaling – the former by a gene mutation rendering the BMP receptor ACVR1 susceptible to activat...
