Punicalin Attenuates Breast Cancer-Associated Osteolysis by Inhibiting the NF-κB Signaling Pathway of Osteoclasts

Background: Breast cancer bone metastasis and osteoporosis are both severe diseases that seriously threaten human health. These diseases are closely associated with osteolytic lesions. And osteoclasts are the key targets of this pathological process. Given the lack of effective preventive or treatme...
