Abstract
In recent years, the number of people suffering from diabetes has increased notably. This increase has led to an augmentation in secondary diseases; amongst them, diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most relevant pathologies. DN provokes a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, which ends up in chronic renal failure. In the developed countries, DN is the first cause of chronic renal failure needing replacement therapy. Thus, this disease is responsible for a remarkable part of the public health costs in the Western countries. All of these facts have encouraged many scientists to perform their research on mechanism causing DN, improving our knowledge of its pathogenesis. In this review we summarize the most relevant facts on the physiopathology of DN.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
