The TME evolves with the developmental stages of cancer and the implementation of therapeutic interventions, transitioning from an immune-promoting to an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Consequently, we focus intently on the significant role of the TME in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and the development of drug resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • Heterotopic ossification (HO) in the elbow leads to limited movement and is often caused by injuries like burns or trauma; this study analyzes the long-term outcomes of 51 elbows treated surgically.
  • The study followed 48 patients over an average of 8 years, assessing metrics such as elbow movement arcs, pain levels, and functional performance scores post-surgery.
  • Results showed significant improvement in elbow functionality, but patients with type II diabetes experienced the lowest movement range and higher complication rates, indicating potential risk factors for poorer outcomes.
