Maybe it's a new direction and new concept for the growth of scientific research.

I have previously enrolled in a research project involving gene‑editing experiments in mice. Longitudinal bone growth relies on chondrocytes, and the cellular reservoir is primarily maintained by proliferating cells in the resting zone. The reason for diminished growth at advanced skeletal age is that this cellular reservoir becomes nearly exhausted. The remaining pool of chondrocytes is too limited to support the substantial height gain (e.g., more than 20 cm) observed during puberty. The chondrocytes in the resting zone originate from a special population of stem cells. Nevertheless, the chondrocyte reservoir is finite because both stem cells and chondrocytes possess a limited number of cell‑division cycles.

Instead of inhibiting FGFR3 or activating CNP, my conceptual hypothesis aims to fundamentally increase the permissible number of cell‑division cycles to restore the chondrocyte reservoir to its youthful state via gene‑editing techniques. Although this idea is theoretically appealing, direct clinical translation is unrealistic. However, this research direction is not entirely out of reach. I propose testing this concept in mouse models rather than applying it directly to humans. While practical obstacles remain, this may represent a promising new avenue for investigation.
