What mechanisms link HLA-DRA, AGER, HSPA1A, and HSPA1B to microvascular complications in diabetes?

OPEN

The study identifies these four proteins as associated with most diabetic microvascular complications, but the mechanistic pathways connecting these proteins to vascular damage are not explained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical since microvascular complications affect the nervous system through diabetic neuropathy.
