17β-estradiol maintains extracellular matrix homeostasis of nucleus pulposus cells by activating p70 S6K1 signaling pathway

BackgroundEstrogen can inhibit the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. However, the downstream of mTOR signaling pathway remains elusive. This study investigates the effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) on intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) through th...
