In this short review we revisit the broad landscape of low-scaleSU(3)c⊗SU(2)L⊗U(1)Ymodels of neutrino mass generation, with view on their phenomenological potential. This includes signatures associated to direct neutrino mass messenger production at the LHC, as well as messenger-induced lepton flavor violation processes. We also briefly comment on the presence of WIMP cold dark matter candidates.
