Article Synopsis
  • * Berberine (BBR) shows promise for treating osteoporosis but struggles with poor solubility and instability, limiting its effectiveness.
  • * Researchers developed a new nanocomplex, T-BBR, by using tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) to enhance the delivery of BBR, resulting in improved osteogenic and anti-osteoporosis effects through the Wnt signaling pathway.
