The dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1 A (DYRK1A) presents a promising therapeutic target for neurological diseases. However, current inhibitors lack selectivity, which can lead to unexpected side effects and increase the difficulty of studying DYRK1A. Therefore, identifying selective inhibitors targeting DYRK1A is essential for reducing side effects and facilitating neurological disease research.

Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative disease and has elevated interest in DYRK1A research. Overexpression of DYRK1A has been linked to the formation of tau aggregates.

The surface of medical implant alloy Ti-6Al-4V was chemically modified to allow it to covalently bond with collagen/PVA nanofibers. These nanofibers were successfully attached to the Ti-6Al-4V surface in three different morphologies: randomly oriented high-density fiber, COL(H); randomly oriented low-density fiber, COL(L); and aligned high-density fiber, COL(A). The effects of the morphology of these covalently-bound collagen nanofibers on the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts were studied for 21 days.

The patient had the pre-existing lesions of Ollier's disease discovered during his childhood. The patient underwent wide resection of the sarcoma with a prosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus.

However, the means by which osteosarcoma cells modulate MSC behavior remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of osteosarcoma cells on both the production of pro-tumor cytokines by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.
