Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) has achieved important results that have improved our understanding of the genetic cause, pathophysiology and clinical translation. It is important to assess the status of the scientific advancement given the variety and complexity of biological factors and processes that play a role in the disease mechanism and try to identify more and more precise targets for novel therapeutic approaches.
