ACVR1 R206H cooperates with H3.1K27M in promoting diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma pathogenesis [PDF]
ACVR1 and H3.1K27M mutations co-occur in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Here, the authors generate a mouse model that recapitulates these genetic lesions and show, using genetic and pharmacological approaches, that the bone morphogenetic protein ...

ACVR1 Function in Health and Disease [PDF]
Activin A receptor type I (ACVR1) encodes for a bone morphogenetic protein type I receptor of the TGFβ receptor superfamily. It is involved in a wide variety of biological processes, including bone, heart, cartilage, nervous, and reproductive system

ACVR1: A Novel Therapeutic Target to Treat Anemia in Myelofibrosis
Simple Summary The human activin receptor type I (ACVR1) is a complex protein that regulates production of hepcidin on hepatocytes and red blood cells. Hepcidin is a small peptide that regulates iron metabolism and plasma iron levels.

Anti-ACVR1 antibodies exacerbate heterotopic ossification in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) by activating FOP-mutant ACVR1 [PDF]
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder whose most debilitating pathology is progressive and cumulative heterotopic ossification (HO) of skeletal muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia.

Genomic Context and Mechanisms of the ACVR1 Mutation in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva [PDF]
Basic research in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) was carried out in the various fields involved in the disease pathophysiology and was important for designing therapeutic approaches, some of which were already developed as ongoing or planned

BMP2 and BMP7 cooperate with H3.3K27M to promote quiescence and invasiveness in pediatric diffuse midline gliomas [PDF]
Pediatric diffuse midline gliomas (pDMG) are an aggressive type of childhood cancer with a fatal outcome. Their major epigenetic determinism has become clear, notably with the identification of K27M mutations in histone H3.

Molecular Developmental Biology of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva: Measuring the Giant by Its Toe [PDF]
When a genetic disease is characterized by the abnormal activation of normal molecular pathways and cellular events, it is illuminating to critically examine the places and times of these activities both in health and disease.
