A recurrent mutation in the BMP type I receptor ACVR1 causes inherited and sporadic fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of skeletal malformations and progressive extraskeletal ossification. We mapped FOP to chromosome 2q23-24 by linkage… Expand

A potential therapy to enhance healing of bone tissue is to deliver isolated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to the site of a lesion to promote bone formation. A key issue within this technology is the… Expand
Bisphosphonates: an update on mechanisms of action and how these relate to clinical efficacy.
- R. Russell, Zhidao Xia, +12 authors F. Ebetino
- Medicine
- Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
- 1 November 2007
The bisphosphonates (BPs) are well established as the treatments of choice for disorders of excessive bone resorption, including Paget's disease of bone, myeloma and bone metastases, and… Expand
The localization of androgen receptors in human bone.

- 12 September 2012
Background: Mutations in the ALK2 kinase cause extraskeletal bone formation. Results: We solved the structure of ALK2 in complex with the inhibitor FKBP12. Conclusion: Disease mutations break… Expand
Modelling nutrient transport in hollow fibre membrane bioreactors for growing three-dimensional bone tissue
- Hua Ye, D. B. Das, J. Triffitt, Z. Cui
- Materials Science
- 15 March 2006
Recent experimental studies suggest that hollow fibre membrane bioreactors (HFMBs) may be used to grow three-dimensional (3D) bone tissue, which may then be implanted into patients to repair skeletal… Expand
