In a new study published in Bone Research, a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University and colleagues, using a combination of lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), has ...
Proposed model for Regulation of BMP Activity by DDR2. After binding collagen, DDR2 alone or together with collagen-binding β1 integrins stabilizes YAP/TAZ nuclear accumulation. This is accomplished ...
A new small molecule could treat and prevent excess bone formation. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disease estimated to affect about one in 2 million people worldwide ...
Bone regeneration research has taken a significant leap forward with the discovery of a crucial mechanism that could transform treatments for bone disorders. Scientists have identified how Discoidin ...
We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), Mrep functions as a pathogenic cell that ...
