description In this issue of the Biomedical Journal the reader is provided with an insight into the latest observations and advances in acute kidney injury as well as chronic kidney disease. The current SARS-CoV-2 variants are reviewed, and the role of long non-coding RNA in HIV therapy is explored. Furthermore, the potential of metabolomics as means to diagnose multiple sclerosis as well as tuberculosis is presented. Other topics of this issue include the restoration of the spermatogonial stem cell niche; atherosclerosis and the use of improved ultrasound images; and the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with autism spectrum disorder. Finally, it is shown how continuous passive motion can be used as supportive therapeutic approach in children with cerebral palsy, and minimally invasive surgery is presented as valid alternative in cases of spine metastasis.
