Several teams of medical researchers are currently testing new therapies for slowing or stopping the excess or runaway bone growth associated with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive (FOP)—a rare bone disease.
Bone cells live in bone tissue in the body. But the cells in these images are carrying out their bone-building duties outside the body—inside a 3D printable device, called a bioreactor, created by FIU researchers.
