Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and osteoporosis (OP) are systemic metabolic diseases and often coexist. The mechanism underlying this interrelationship remains unclear. We downloaded microarray data for T2D and OP from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we identified co-expression...

Abstract Osteosarcoma, the primary bone cancer in adolescents and young adults, is notorious for its aggressive growth and metastatic potential. Our study delved into the prognostic impact of inflammasome-related gene signatures in osteosarcoma patients, employing comprehensive genetic profiling to uncover signatures linked with patient outcomes. We...

Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a major health and economic problem facing older adults worldwide, is a degenerative joint disease. Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (GC) plays an integral role in many classic Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating knee osteoarthritis. Still, the role of GC in treating KOA is unclear. To explore the pharmacological...

Abstract The RNA-binding protein PNO1 plays an essential role in ribosome biogenesis. Recent studies have shown that it is involved in tumorigenesis; however, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine whether PNO1 can be used as a biomarker of HCC and also examine the therapeutic potential...

Abstract Hypoxia and Ferroptosis are associated with the malignant behaviour of cervical cancer. Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1 (EPAS1) contributes to the progression of cervical cancer. EPAS1 plays important roles in hypoxia and ferroptosis. Using the GEO dataset, machine-learning algorithms were used to screen for hypoxia- and ferroptosis-related...

Abstract Charcot–Marie-Tooth type 2A (CMT2A) is an inherited sensorimotor neuropathy associated with mutations within the Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) gene. These mutations impair normal mitochondrial functioning via different mechanisms, disturbing the equilibrium between mitochondrial fusion and fission, of mitophagy and mitochondrial axonal transport. Although...
