Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The human body possesses a miraculous ability to heal itself. When skin is cut, it forms a scar; when a bone breaks, it fuses back together. But in extremely rare cases, this biological defense mechanism glitches, turning the body's greatest asset in…to its ultimate destroyer.Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), often called 'Stone Man Syndrome,' is a devastating genetic mutation. When a patient with FOP suffers even a minor tissue injury-like a bruise or a vaccination-the body's repair system overreacts catastrophically. Instead of creating scar tissue, it generates solid bone, slowly locking the muscles, tendons, and joints into an unyielding, second skeleton.This book delves into the complex genetic mechanics behind this unstoppable cellular error. It explores how a single mutated gene tricks the immune system into permanent ossification, baffling modern medicine.Understand the fragile boundaries of human biology and witness the terrifying reality of a disease that slowly turns living, breathing tissue into a permanent statue.
