The Regulatory Role of MicroRNAs on Phagocytes: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Chronic Diseases.

An effective acute inflammatory response results in the elimination of infectious microorganisms, followed by a smooth transition to resolution and repair. During the inflammatory response, neutrophils play a crucial role in antimicrobial defense as the first cells to reach the site of infection damage. However, if the neutrophils that have performed the bactericidal effect are not removed in time, the inflammatory response will not be able to subside.

Ferroptosis and ferritinophagy in diabetes complications.

Background: With long-term metabolic malfunction, diabetes can cause serious damage to whole-body tissue and organs, resulting in a variety of complications. Therefore, it is particularly important to further explore the pathogenesis of diabetes complications and develop drugs for prevention and treatment. In recent years, different from apoptosis and necrosis, ferroptosis has been recognized as a new regulatory mode of cell death and involves the regulation of nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4)-mediated ferritinophagy.
