Sarcoma as a second malignant neoplasm following radiotherapy is a rare occurrence in childhood. A case of osteogenic osteosarcoma of temporoparietal bone that developed 56 months after irradiation for a cerebellar astrocytoma in a 10-year-old child is reported and the pertinent literature is briefly reviewed. The possibility of an association (in the same patient) between these two rather uncommon lesions is extremely unlikely. Therefore, it is possible that radiotherapy played a role in the induction of the sarcoma. The indolent course of the latter is stressed.

Most osteosarcoma (OS) cases exhibit poor differentiation at the histopathological level. Disruption of the normal osteogenic differentiation process results in the unregulated proliferation of precursor cells, which is a critical factor in the development of OS. Differentiation therapy aims to slow disease progression by restoring the osteogenic differentiation process of OS cells and is considered a new approach to treating OS.

The precise manipulation of PANoptosis, a newly defined cell death pathway encompassing pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, is highly desired to achieve safer cancer immunotherapy with tumor-specific inflammatory responses and minimal side effects. Nonetheless, this objective remains a formidable challenge. Herein, an "AND" logic-gated strategy for accurately localized PANoptosis activation, utilizing composite 3D-printed bioactive glasses scaffolds integrated with epigenetic regulator-loaded porous piezoelectric SrTiO nanoparticles is proposed.

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia frequently harbor fusion oncogenes associated with poor prognosis, including KMT2A, NUP98 and GLIS2 rearrangements. While murine models have demonstrated their leukemogenic activities, the steps from a normal human cell to leukemic blasts remain unclear. Here, we precisely reproduced the inversion of chromosome 16 resulting in ETO2::GLIS2 fusion in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).
