Abstract
Introduction: Accelerated formation of AGE due to increasing rise in blood glucose levels leads to developments of metabolic changes, further leading to such complications as diabetic retinopathy which is a major reason of leading to blindness and affecting working population worldwide.
Background: The results of recent investigations have demonstrated that the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons is the common pathological changes in AGE-exposed retina and the possible mechanisms that are responsible for the onset and progression of RGC death and axonal degeneration in patients with diseases associated with AGEs accumulation are represented in this review. Identifying the mechanisms of the onset and the progression of RGC neuropathy can help in discovering the pathogenetic orientated treatment. Objective: This review describes recently discovered possible mechanisms of diabetic retinopathy obtained by laboratory studies with the suggestion that AGEs play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinal neuropathy triggering different mechanisms that result in neuronal dysfunction. For searching therapeutic approach the regenerative effect of different neurotrophic factors has been studied such as neurotrophin-4, hepatocyte growth factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, and Tauroursodeoxycholic acid. Conclusion: The findings for the establishment of neuroprotective and regenerative therapies for AGE-related diseases including diabetic retinopathy are represented in this review.Keywords: AGEs, regeneration, neurotrophic factors, JNK, p38.

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
