Systemic administration of naked plasmid encoding hepatocyte growth factor ameliorates chronic renal fibrosis in mice.

abstract：:Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an autosomal dominant congenital disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic bone formation. Currently, no definitive treatment exists for FOP. The activin receptor type IA / activin-like kinase 2 (ACVR1/ALK2) gene has been identified as the responsible gene for FOP...
