AhR deficiency exacerbates inflammation in diabetic wounds via impaired mitophagy and cGAS-STING-NLRP3 activation: Therapeutic potential of hydrogels loaded with FICZ

Delayed healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is driven by chronic inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction. We identify the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a key regulator of immune and mitochondrial homeostasis in diabetic wounds. AhR expression was elevated in macrophages from human and mur...
