Glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide synthesized intracellularly, serves as a pivotal antioxidant, neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) while maintaining redox homeostasis and detoxifying xenobiotics. Its potent antioxidant properties, particularly attributed to the sulfhydryl group (-SH) in cysteine, are crucial for cellular health across various organelles. The glutathione-glutathione disulfide (GSH-GSSG) cycle is facilitated by enzymes like glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR), thus aiding in detoxification processes and mitigating oxidative damage and inflammation. Mitochondria, being primary sources of reactive oxygen species, benefit significantly from GSH, which regulates metal homeostasis and supports autophagy, apoptosis, and ferroptosis, playing a fundamental role in neuroprotection. The vulnerability of the brain to oxidative stress underscores the importance of GSH in neurological disorders and regenerative medicine. Nebulization of glutathione presents a novel and promising approach to delivering this antioxidant directly to the central nervous system (CNS), potentially enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. This method may offer significant advantages in mitigating neurodegeneration by enhancing nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway signaling and mitochondrial function, thereby providing direct neuroprotection. By addressing oxidative stress and its detrimental effects on neuronal health, nebulized GSH could play a crucial role in managing and potentially ameliorating conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Further clinical research is warranted to elucidate the therapeutic potential of nebulized GSH in preserving mitochondrial health, enhancing CNS function, and combating neurodegenerative conditions, aiming to improve outcomes for individuals affected by brain diseases characterized by oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.

This classification is specifically designed for HA-based orthobiologic products used in regenerative medicine, including orthopedics, sports medicine, aesthetics, cosmetic dermatology, and wound healing. It aims to provide clinicians with a structured framework for personalized treatment strategies. Future directions in HA research are also discussed, emphasizing the need for further validation and refinement of the proposed classification system to advance the field of regenerative medicine. Overall, this manuscript elucidates the biological functions of hyaluronic acid and its potential in clinical practice while advocating for standardization to enhance patient care in various regenerative applications.

Bone marrow cellular therapy has undergone a remarkable evolution, significantly impacting the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. This review traces the historical trajectory from early mythological references to contemporary scientific advancements. The groundbreaking work of Friedenstein in 1968, identifying fibroblast colony-forming cells in bone marrow, laid the foundation for future studies. Caplan's subsequent identification of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in 1991 highlighted their differentiation potential and immunomodulatory properties, establishing them as key players in regenerative medicine. Contemporary research has focused on refining techniques for isolating and applying bone marrow-derived MSCs. These cells have shown promise in treating conditions like osteonecrosis, osteoarthritis, and tendon injuries thanks to their ability to promote tissue repair, modulate immune responses, and enhance angiogenesis. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvements in pain relief, functional recovery, and tissue regeneration. Innovations such as the ACH classification system and advancements in bone marrow aspiration methods have standardized practices, improving the consistency and efficacy of these therapies. Recent clinical trials have validated the therapeutic potential of bone marrow-derived products, highlighting their advantages in both surgical and non-surgical applications. Studies have shown that MSCs can reduce inflammation, support bone healing, and enhance cartilage repair. However, challenges remain, including the need for rigorous characterization of cell populations and standardized reporting in clinical trials. Addressing these issues is crucial for advancing the field and ensuring the reliable application of these therapies. Looking ahead, future research should focus on integrating bone marrow-derived products with other regenerative techniques and exploring non-surgical interventions. The continued innovation and refinement of these therapies hold promise for revolutionizing the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, offering improved patient outcomes, and advancing the boundaries of medical science.

The buffy-coat, a layer of leukocytes and platelets obtained from peripheral blood centrifugation, plays a crucial role in tissue regeneration and the modulation of inflammatory responses. This article explores the mechanisms of regenerative inflammation, highlighting the critical role of the buffy-coat in influencing macrophage polarization and its therapeutic potential. Macrophage polarization into M1 and M2 subtypes is pivotal in balancing inflammation and tissue repair, with M1 macrophages driving pro-inflammatory responses and M2 macrophages promoting tissue healing and regeneration. The buffy-coat's rich composition of progenitor cells, cytokines, and growth factors—such as interleukin-10, transforming growth factor-β, and monocyte colony-stimulating factor—supports the transition from M1 to M2 macrophages, enhancing tissue repair and the resolution of inflammation. This dynamic interaction between buffy-coat components and macrophages opens new avenues for therapeutic strategies aimed at improving tissue regeneration and managing inflammatory conditions, particularly in musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoarthritis. Furthermore, the use of buffy-coat-derived therapies in conjunction with other regenerative modalities, such as platelet-rich plasma, holds promise for more effective clinical outcomes.

Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS), described by Vladimir Janda, is characterized by postural changes involving the cervical spine and trunk, leading to biomechanical limitations and cervicoscapulobrachial pain. This study proposes a mesotherapy protocol, termed the 8:1 block, to address cervicoscapulobrachialgia by targeting the scapulae and associated musculature. The scapula, central to shoulder girdle kinematics, often exhibits dyskinesis and muscular imbalances, notably the pattern referred to as scapular upper trapping (SUT). SUT involves scapular elevation, medial rotation, and shoulder protraction, contributing to cervicobrachial pain. The protocol includes a comprehensive assessment of muscle tone changes and biomechanical considerations, highlighting the importance of the scapula in upper limb movement and posture. Key anatomical changes involve tightened upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and pectoralis minor muscles, with weakened middle trapezius and serratus anterior. The mesotherapy approach targets these imbalances through specific injection points to alleviate muscle tension and correct postural deviations. Case studies from our clinic demonstrate the protocol's effectiveness in reducing pain and restoring scapular biomechanics. Patients reported significant improvements in pain relief and functional outcomes, underscoring the clinical utility of the 8:1 block in treating cervicoscapulobrachialgia. This protocol offers a feasible, cost-effective intervention that enhances the efficacy of traditional therapeutic exercises by addressing underlying muscular and biomechanical dysfunctions. In conclusion, the 8:1 block mesotherapy protocol provides a novel approach to managing cervicoscapulobrachial pain by focusing on scapular biomechanics and muscle tension. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and refine the protocol for broader clinical application.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic articular disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of cartilage and bone tissue, leading to the appearance of subchondral cysts, osteophyte formation, and synovial inflammation. Conventional treatments consist of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), analgesics, and glucocorticoids. However, the prolonged use of these drugs causes adverse effects. NSAIDs, for instance, are known to be nephrotoxic, increasing the damage to articular cartilage. New therapies capable of accelerating the process of tissue regeneration and repair are being discussed, such as the use of orthobiologics that are naturally found in the body and obtained through minimally invasive collection and/or laboratory manipulations. Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) are both rich in hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and growth factors (GFs) that can be used in the healing process due to their anabolic and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this literature review is to assess the efficacy of BMA and BMAC in the treatment of knee OA based on the favorable results that researchers have obtained with the use of both orthobiologics envisaging an accelerated healing process and the prevention of OA progression.
