Article Synopsis
  • Osteosarcoma is a serious bone cancer affecting mainly children and adolescents, and the study focuses on the role of a programmed cell death process called anoikis in understanding tumor metastasis and immune response within the tumor microenvironment.
  • Researchers analyzed gene expression and clinical data from osteosarcoma patients, identifying significant anoikis-related genes that correlate with the tumor immune microenvironment and developing a model to predict patient survival risk.
  • The study found 51 key anoikis-related genes, with three being crucial for prognosis, and noted differences in immune cell activity and signaling pathways between high-risk and low-risk patient groups in the context of the osteosarcoma microenvironment.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of TNF-α and FGF-2 in the fracture healing disorder of type 2 diabetes.

Design/methodology/approach: Rat diabetes-bone traction model was established to investigate the effect of type 2 diabetes on the fracture healing and the association of TNF-α and FGF-2 with the process. Serological examination was performed to detect the related diabetes indexes.

To examine the growth activity and osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in rats with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as the expression level of Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) in bone marrow, and to explore the relationship between the osteogenic activity of BMSCs and the expression of DKK-1.
 Methods: The BMSCs were isolated from T2DM rats and were cultured in vitro. The BMSCs were divided into a T2DM group and a control group.
