May 2022 in “Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience” The editorial highlights the potential of mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) therapies in regenerative medicine, emphasizing their ability to modulate immune responses, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. MSCs are versatile, sourced from various origins, and can be expanded and stored for clinical use, making them applicable to diverse diseases, including musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular conditions, cancer, and COVID-19 complications. The document reviews 37 manuscripts on MSC applications, mechanisms, and strategies to enhance efficacy, such as preconditioning and genetic modifications. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are also noted for their therapeutic potential. The editorial underscores the need for standardized clinical trials to improve MSC therapy outcomes, indicating that while MSCs and their derivatives hold promise for advancing regenerative therapies, further research and standardization are necessary.

January 2014 in “Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports” The study identified the retarded hair growth (rhg) mutation in mice as an allele of the ornithine aminotransferase (Oat) gene, caused by a G to C transversion in Exon 9, leading to a glycine to alanine substitution. This mutation resulted in elevated plasma ornithine levels, reduced OAT activity, and symptoms such as delayed hair growth, cataracts, and retinal degeneration, making it a potential model for human gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina. The study involved a large backcross panel of 1,462 mice and 65 offspring from specific crosses, providing a robust model for understanding OAT deficiency. Arginine supplementation improved growth in mutant mice, supporting the link between the rhg mutation and OAT deficiency.
