Patients with dysfunctional IL-11 signaling display different forms of craniosynostosis. IL-11 induces proliferation of osteosarcoma cell lines in vitro, and the IL-11 signaling cascade was further used to reduce tumor growth and lung metastasis in preclinical mouse models of primary intratibial osteosarcoma. This article gives a comprehensive overview of the frequency, classification, and etiology of osteosarcoma and describes the basic biology of the cytokine IL-11. Furthermore, it summarizes current knowledge about the functional
