Melatonin promotes osteoblast differentiation by regulating Osterix protein stability and expression
Abstract Although the biological role of melatonin in osteogenic differentiation has been suggested, the mechanism of osteoblast differentiation remains unclear. Thus, the present study investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms based on osteoblast-specific transcription factors. We found that...
