Abstract
Current therapies for diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ACVDs) mainly target metabolic risk factors, but often fall short in addressing systemic inflammation, a key driver of disease onset and progression. Advances in our understanding of the biology of neutrophils, the cells that are principally involved in inflammatory situations, have highlighted their pivotal role in cardiometabolic diseases. Yet, neutrophils can reprogram their immune-metabolic functions based on the energetic substrates available, thus influencing both tissue homeostasis and the resolution of inflammation. In this review, we examine the effects of canonical therapies for cardiometabolic diseases on the key molecular pathways through which neutrophils respond to inflammatory stimuli. In addition, we explore potential synergies between these established therapeutic approaches and the anti-inflammatory therapies being evaluated for repurposing in the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (TIPS) is a monthly peer-reviewed reviews journal that focuses on a wide range of topics in pharmacology, pharmacy, pharmaceutics, and toxicology. Launched in 1979, TIPS publishes concise articles discussing the latest advancements in pharmacology and therapeutics research.
The journal encourages submissions that align with its core themes while also being open to articles on the biopharma regulatory landscape, science policy and regulation, and bioethics.
Each issue of TIPS provides a platform for experts to share their insights and perspectives on the most exciting developments in the field. Through rigorous peer review, the journal ensures the quality and reliability of published articles.
Authors are invited to contribute articles that contribute to the understanding of pharmacology and its applications in various domains. Whether it's exploring innovative drug therapies or discussing the ethical considerations of pharmaceutical research, TIPS provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the pharmacological sciences.
