Article Synopsis
- - Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare and severe disorder where soft tissues gradually turn into bone, causing significant physical limitations and skeletal problems from birth.
- - The condition is linked to a mutation in a specific gene associated with a receptor that plays a role in cell differentiation, leading to better understanding of the disease itself and ossification processes.
- - Recent research on FOP has provided new insights into fundamental biological processes that could impact other health issues, suggesting a broader relevance for understanding human diseases.
