    Studysummary In this study, ALR was found to enhance both the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, potentially through specific signaling pathways.

    The study explored the effects of Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix (ALR) on mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMMSCs), revealing that ALR enhanced cell proliferation through the ERK1/2 pathway and promoted osteogenic differentiation via the BMP-2/Smad-dependent Runx2 pathway. ALR treatment resulted in significant osteogenic differentiation within 2 weeks, faster than traditional methods, without inducing adipogenic differentiation. The presence of benzoylaconine in ALR was confirmed, suggesting ALR as a potential alternative to traditional growth factors for stimulating bone formation and treating bone-related diseases, though further research was necessary.
