Article Abstract
MicroRNA's are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of genes by targeting the 3' UTR's of mRNA. Studies reveal that miRNAs play a pivotal role in normal musculoskeletal function such as mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, survivability and apoptosis, osteogenesis, and chondrogenesis. Changes in normal miRNA expression have been linked to a number of pathological disease processes. Additionally, with aging, it is noted that there is dysregulation in the normal function of stem cell differentiation, bone formation/degradation, chondrocyte function, and muscle degeneration. Due to the change in expression of miRNA in degenerative musculoskeletal pathology, it is believed that these molecules may be at least partially responsible for cellular dysfunction. A number of miRNAs have already been identified to play a role in osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and sarcopenia. One miRNA that has become of interest recently is miRNA 141. The purpose of this article is to review the current literature available on miRNA 141 and how it could play a role in osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pathology overall.

Asynchronous Development of B-cell and T-cell Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder in a Pediatric Heart Transplant Patient.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder is a rare and serious complication of organ and stem cell transplant secondary to immunosuppressive therapies, most commonly of monomorphic B-cell subtype. Here we describe the first reported case of a pediatric heart transplant patient who developed both monomorphic B-cell and nondestructive PTLD with plasmacytic hyperplasia followed by an unrelated case of monomorphic T-cell and nondestructive PTLD with plasmacytic hyperplasia, which later relapsed. We detail the patient's risk factors for development of PTLD and her successful treatment regimens.

Germline DDX41 mutations (DDX41mut) are identified in approximately 5% of myeloid malignancies with excess of blasts, representing a distinct MDS/AML entity. The disease is associated with better outcomes compared to DDX41 wild-type (DDX41WT), but patients who do not undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may experience late relapse. Due to the recent identification of DDX41mut, data on post-HSCT outcomes remain limited.

Pediatric pancreatic neuroblastoma is a rare cancer in children, with only limited cases available in the literature. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl diagnosed with high-risk pancreatic neuroblastoma. The girl was treated with induction chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant and maintenance with 13-cis-retinoic acid.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which triggers a severe inflammatory cascade and the destruction of the alveolar-capillary barrier, leading to respiratory failure and life-threatening outcomes. Considering the limitations and adverse effects associated with current therapeutic interventions, developing effective and safe strategies that target the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of ALI is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Herein, we developed an inhalable, multifunctional nanotherapeutic (MSCNVs@CAT) by encapsulating catalase (CAT) in mesenchymal-stem-cell-derived nanovesicles (MSCNVs).
