Abstract
In this paper, we provide a commentary on an article focusing on diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) as a dreadful complication of diabetes mellitus. The development of this condition is influenced by factors such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy, lower extremity artery disease, and infection. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Macrophages play a critical role in wound healing processes, suggesting that therapies targeting these cells could potentially improve the management of DFU. A comprehensive understanding of developmental trends of macrophages within the field of DFU may facilitate research advancements and the development of novel treatment strategies.
期刊介绍：
The WJD is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJD is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of diabetes. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJD is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJD are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in diabetes. Scope: Diabetes Complications, Experimental Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes, Gestational, Diabetic Angiopathies, Diabetic Cardiomyopathies, Diabetic Coma, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Diabetic Nephropathies, Diabetic Neuropathies, Donohue Syndrome, Fetal Macrosomia, and Prediabetic State.
