Integrated Molecular Docking and Network-Based Analysis Reveals Multitarget Interaction Patterns of Nutraceutical Compounds in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is driven by the interplay between inflammatory signaling, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, and impaired cellular adaptation. Although several nutraceutical compounds have been reported to exert protective effects in IVDD-related models, their multitarget mechanisms within integrated molecular networks remain incompletely characterized. Methods: An in silico framework integrating molecular docking with network-based analyses was employed
