Abstract excerpt
The core pathological mechanisms of diabetic microvascular diseases, such as nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and neuropathy, involve the dysfunction and loss of microvascular endothelial cells (ECs), vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and pericytes (PCs). Conventional therapeutic approaches struggle to achieve structural repair and functional regeneration of damaged vessels. Induced pluripotent stem...
