Chronic diabetic wounds are a prevalent and severe complication of diabetes, contributing to higher rates of limb amputations and mortality. N6-methyladenosine (mA) is a common RNA modification that has been shown to regulate tissue repair and regeneration. However, whether targeting mA could effectively improve chronic diabetic wound healing remains largely unknown.

However, an elevated blood glucose level alone does not explain this pathogenesis. We investigated the metabolic markers underlying diabetic atherosclerosis and whether extracellular Hsp90α (eHsp90α) triggers vascular endothelial calcification in this particular metabolic environment.
