Aims

In our previous research, we have found that melatonin (MEL) affects the osteoporotic process. By balancing bone remoulding, autophagy is involved in age-related bone loss. However, as a regulator of autophagy, whether MEL influences senile osteoporosis via regulating autophagy remains unclear.

Methods

Cellular, radiological, and histopathological evaluations were performed on 36 16-month-old male C57BL6/L mice or aged bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A MEL-gelatin methacrylamide system was constructed to aid osteoporotic fracture healing.
