Berberine alleviates cell pyroptosis in diabetic retinopathy by regulating AKT1, JUN, and STAT3
Ibrain, EarlyView.Berberine alleviates diabetic retinopathy by reducing pyroptosis through AKT1/JUN/STAT3 regulation, as validated in rat models via network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental assays. Abstract Berberine (BBR) exerts an effective protection for diabetic retinopathy (DR), but the underlying key molecular mechanism remains unknown; this study
