Rac1 promotes exosome secretion from proximal renal tubules to accelerate DKD.
Chronic low-grade sterile inflammation is one hallmark of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Exosomes secretion from renal cells plays an important role in the transmission of inflammatory substances, which is associated with DKD. Ras-related C…

The efferocytosis dilemma: how neutrophil extracellular traps and PI3K/Rac1 complicate diabetic wound healing.
[AIMS/HYPOTHESIS] The resolution of apoptotic cells (ACs) is crucial for wound healing and tissue remodeling and is often impaired by persistent inflammation. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)…
