Nuciferine Ameliorates Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss via TFEB-Mediated Autophagy-Lysosomal Pathway
Background: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease that leads to reduced bone formation and increased fracture risk. Nuciferine, an aporphine alkaloid from the lotus leaf, can regulate the TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosomal pathway. This pathway is critical for osteogenic differentiation. However...
