Abstract Summary

Researchers developed a post-translational modification (PTM)-based gene signature that predicts survival in osteosarcoma patients. High-risk scores correlated with immunosuppressive tumor environments enriched in regulatory immune cells and reduced anti-tumor responses. The gene GRN emerged as a key driver, promoting cancer cell growth, spread, and immune evasion. GRN silencing impaired osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion, positioning it as a promising therapeutic target.

Why Brain? 🧠

PTM-based gene signature predicts osteosarcoma survival and reveals immunosuppressive tumor environment, identifying GRN as a key driver of cancer progression and potential therapeutic target.
