FOP? Is that fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva? It looks like you have to pay to read the article that you linked to.
Yeah that’s kind of an odd post. Must be spam or something.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
Yeah, thats right 🙂
Odd; what did you click? Its a public article, I didn’t get any requests to sign in.
In a nutshell, scientists have figured out how to home in on a particular griup of cells & be able to reverse the mutation without aggravating anything else in the process.
It says in order to read the full article that you need to subscribe for $199 or purchase the article for $32 so what is it about then that you thought to post it on here?

The paraphrased synopsis at the top says it all, thankfully!
Leaps and bounds in research! Its fantastic news!
I remember when they figured out exactly what caused FOP (I was just finishing up graduate school with a thesis related to bone-forming cells). What a strange and debilitating disease. I certainly hope they figure out how to stop it. It might be hard to reverse damage once it’s done, but even moderate progress is definitely a step in the right direction!
You did a thesis? That’s cool! Didn’t know my condition had reached that stage of publicity 🙂 More students know about it than doctors do.
I didn’t do a thesis on the disease, alas. But I heard a lot about it from colleagues when I went to conferences and whatnot.
