Clearance of senescent cells enhances skin wound healing in type 2 diabetic mice

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a substantial healthcare challenge due to their high rates of morbidity, recurrence, disability, and mortality. Current DFU therapeutics continue to grapple with multiple limitations. Senescent cells (SnCs) have been found to have a beneficial effect on acute wound healing, however, their roles in chronic wounds, such as DFU, remain unclear.
