Bone matrix-forming tumors are a group of neoplasms that exhibit differentiation toward any stage of osteoblast development. Their clinicopathologic features can resemble one another, yet their clinical management may vary significantly. Therefore, appropriate treatment requires accurate diagnosis, which can be challenging, especially with limited biopsy specimens. Recently, the driver genetic alterations underlying these neoplasms have been discovered, and their protein products can be targeted for diagnosis and therapy. Herein, we summarize the recent advances in our understanding of bone matrix-forming tumors and emphasize the integration of molecular genetics into their conventional clinicopathologic evaluation.

Primary bone tumours of the jaw are rare tumoral entities and do substantially differ from other bone tumours of the human body with respect of their frequently encountered unusual radiological appearances. The reason for that may be confined to the co-existence of two closely neighbored but different anatomical structures (i.e.

Calcium phosphate cement (CPC), which exhibits excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity, is a well-established material for the repair of bone defects. However, its disadvantages such as poor washout resistance and low mechanical strength limit its clinical applications. In this study, CPC with enhanced washout resistance and mechanical properties has been developed by the in situ crosslinking of glycidyl methacrylate modified γ-polyglutamic acid (m-PGA) within the cement matrix, forming an interpenetrating network.
