The role of muscle fascia in heterotopic ossification and maintenance of skeletal muscle integrity in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

2025-11-13

Abstract excerpt

The rare genetic disorder fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) of skeletal muscles and associated soft tissues. FOP is caused by a gain-of-function mutation in the type l BMP receptor ACVR1 (ALK2) that renders the receptor inappropriately responsive to activin ligands. HO is associated with muscle destruction and compromised muscle regeneration,...
