Description

The abstract states that mitochondrial dysfunction alters the balance between osteogenesis and osteoclast activity under pathological conditions, but the precise molecular pathways linking mitochondrial quality control defects to bone cell imbalance remain unexplained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing targeted mitochondrial therapies for osteoporosis.
