Osteoporosis
Disease6 papers5 findings
In female ovariectomised rats, betaine and nuciferine alleviate osteoporosis. Reviews associate osteoporosis with type H vessels in bone and link epigenetic age acceleration to human disease risk, whilst an in silico study shows osteoporosis decreases synovial inflammatory macrophages in osteoarthritis.
