Abstract
Our study shows that periodontal ligament fibroblasts from FOP patients displayed at most slightly enhanced in vitro osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. This model could be useful to elucidate molecular mechanisms leading to heterotopic ossification in FOP such as in the presence of specific ACVR1-R206H activators as Activin A.
