Moxibustion may help bone cell growth in osteoporotic rats by controlling stem cell signals that affect cell energy cleanup

Updated

Abstract

Moxibustion may influence bone loss and cell differentiation in ovariectomized rats.

  • Moxibustion is associated with reduced bone loss in ovariectomized rats.
  • The treatment may enhance the differentiation of bone-forming cells.
  • Effects could be mediated by the removal of damaged mitochondria in cells.
  • Bone marrow stem cells may release exosomes containing miR-27a-3p related to these effects.
