Article Synopsis
- Lei's formula (LSF) is a traditional Chinese herbal remedy that shows potential in treating osteoarthritis (OA) by protecting cartilage and reducing degeneration.
- The study focuses on how LSF works by inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway, which is linked to chondrocyte senescence, a key factor in OA progression.
- Results indicate that LSF effectively preserves cartilage health by decreasing harmful markers, promoting beneficial markers, and ultimately reducing cartilage degradation through its action on chondrocyte behavior.
