Identification and characterization of archaeal pseudomurein biosynthesis genes through pangenomics by Valérian Lupo, Célyne Roomans, Edmée Royen, Loïc Ongena, Olivier Jacquemin, Coralie Mullender, Frédéric Kerff, Denis Baurain

“…Owing to the differences between PG and PM biosynthesis, some have argued that the origin of both polymers is not connected. However, recent studies have revealed that the genomes of PM-containing Archaea encode homologs of the bacterial genes involved in PG biosynthesis, even though neither their specific functions nor the relationships within the corresponding inter-domain phylogenies have been investigated so far. …”

A Review on Bone Tumor Management: Cutting-Edge Strategies in Bone Grafting, Bone Graft Substitute, and Growth Factors for Defect Reconstruction by Sakdejayont S, Chobpenthai T, Suksirivecharuk P, Ninatkiattikul IF, Poosiripinyo T

“…Growth factor-based therapies, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), have revolutionized bone healing by stimulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis.Plain Language Summary: The review compares efficacy and safety of bone graft substitutes with traditional autografts, highlighting their potential benefits and challenges, thus helping clinicians choose the most suitable option for bone tumor management.Autologous bone grafting remains the gold standard; its limitations—such as donor site morbidity and limited graft availability—have driven the development of alternative approaches like bone graft substitutes and growth factor-based therapies.Advances in materials such as ceramics, polymers, and bioactive substances offer promising solutions for bone defect reconstruction, providing enhanced properties for bone regeneration and overcoming the shortcomings of autografts.Growth factor therapies, including Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), transform bone healing by stimulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis, improving the recovery and function of the affected bone.Integrating bone graft substitutes and growth factor therapies, there is significant potential to improve clinical outcomes in orthopaedic oncology, offering more effective bone defect reconstruction and enhanced quality of life for patients.Keywords: Bone tumors, bone graft, tumor management, defect reconstruction, growth factor…”
