MOTS-c: Where the Evidence Ends
Studies offer clues about ageing and metabolism. What do they actually tell us about human health—and where does expert opinion take over?

Matrigel scaffold, alone or with human placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cells, improves histological repair of murine excisional wounds
In mice, Matrigel improved histological repair of excisional skin wounds; placental stromal cells added modest benefit.
Key takeaways
- The mouse study is not proof of efficacy in people.
- Matrigel increased collagen density and improved histological repair.
- Adding placenta-derived stromal cells modestly increased collagen density.
