Activin-dependent signaling in fibro/adipogenic progenitors causes fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a severe disorder characterized by heterotopic ossification, and is caused by mutations in ACVR1. Here, the authors show that expression of mutant ACVR1 in fibro/adipogenic progenitors recapitulates disease progression, and that this can be halted by systemic...
