Quercetin, Hippo Signaling, and Cataract Protection
2026-09-15
A 2025 study combined network pharmacology with UVB-induced cataract models and hydrogen peroxide-injured lens epithelial cells to examine how quercetin affects Hippo signaling. The findings connect Hippo pathway suppression with improved antioxidant status, epithelial-cell survival, and reduced lens opacity, while also identifying important limits for translating these results into therapeutic strategies.
