Why is it important?
The evaluation of the relationship between these serum proteins and the pathway occurring in response to bone fracture may also guide further studies describing the bone healing process. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare serum mTOR and SESN-1 levels in patients with or without bone fracture.
Perspectives
According to our results, the serum mTOR levels increased the first day after fracture compared to a control group. However, we obtained no significant difference between groups in terms of SESN-1 levels. This study may guide further clinical studies investigating the potential role of mTOR signaling in the bone healing process.
