Cathepsin B-Mediated Dysregulation of Autophagy Impairs Macrophage Function and Delays Healing in Diabetic Foot Ulcers
2026-08-24
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) represent one of the most prevalent and debilitating complications of diabetes. In this study, we investigated the role of cathepsin B (CTSB) in regulating macrophage autophagy and its contribution to DFU pathogenesis under hyperglycaemic conditions. By integrating bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets, we identified...
