Daidzein promotes osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in OCT1 cells through stimulating the activation of BMP-2/Smads pathway
“Daidzein promotes osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in OCT1 cells through stimulating the activation of BMP-2/Smads pathway”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, Daidzein, the most widely studied soy phytoestrogen, is not only a potential antiosteoporosis agent owing to its possible osteogenic activity, but also shows anticancer activity. However, the mechanisms through which daidzein affects osteoblast function have not been investigated thoroughly.
