Olfactory disorders and their associated complications present a considerable challenge to an individual's quality of life and emotional wellbeing. The current range of treatments, including surgical procedures, pharmacological interventions, and behavioral training, frequently proves ineffective in restoring olfactory function. The olfactory bulb (OB) is essential for odor processing and plays a pivotal role in the development of these disorders.

Pediatric nephrolithiasis is an ancient and complex disorder that has seen a significant rise in recent decades and the underlying causes contributing to stone formation in children may also be shifting. Historically, kidney stones have been linked to factors such as metabolic disorders, congenital abnormalities, and family history. However, the recent increase in incidence appears to be associated with new risk factors, including changes in lifestyle and diet, the growing prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and even climate change.

Recent advances in genetics and epigenetics have provided critical insights into the pathogenesis of both idiopathic and non-idiopathic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Mutations in telomere-related genes and surfactant proteins have been linked to familial pulmonary fibrosis, while variants in MUC5B and TOLLIP increase the risk of ILD, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and rheumatoid arthritis-associated ILD. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs such as miR-21 and miR-29, regulate fibrotic pathways, influencing disease onset and progression.
