Note the inverse correlation between SASP factors (IL-6, MMP13, P16) and mechanical strength. (C) Western blot analysis of the STING pathway, senescence indicators, and heterotopic ossification markers (OCN, SOX9, BMP-2). (D, E) Systemic biosafety evaluation via H&E staining of major organs (D) and blood biochemistry analysis (E) showing no toxicity. Significance: ns, not significant; ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
