    Abstract

    The FLI Portion of EWS/FLI Contributes a Transcriptional Regulatory Function That Is Distinct and Separable from Its DNA-Binding Function in Ewing Sarcoma

    Investigators sought to define the specific contributions of each FLI domain to EWS/FLI activity in a well-validated Ewing sarcoma model and, in doing so, to better understand Ewing sarcoma development mediated by the fusion protein.

    The Effect of Parathyroid Hormone on Osteogenesis Is Mediated Partly by Osteolectin

    Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and sclerostin inhibitor (SOSTi) are bone anabolic agents that are administered to patients with osteoporosis. Scientists tested whether osteolectin mediated the effects of PTH or SOSTi on bone formation.

    Abstract

    Circ_0008542 in Osteoblast Exosomes Promotes Osteoclast-Induced Bone Resorption through m6A Methylation

    Scientists showed that exosomes containing circ_0008542 from MC3T3-E1 cells with prolonged tensile stimulation promoted osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption.
