Abstract: The large majority of cases of the autosomal dominant human disease fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) are caused by gain-of-function Arg206His mutations in the BMP type I receptor ACVR1 (ALK2). The Arg206His mutation is located in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cas.15653
Abstract: Chemoresistance is the crux of clinical treatment failure of small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC). Cancer stem cells play a critical role in therapeutic resistance of malignant tumors. Studies have shown that the role of erythropoietin‐producing hepatocellular… read more here.
