The Role of p66Shc in Diabetes: A Comprehensive Review from Bench to Bedside

Journal of Diabetes Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
It is well‐documented that diabetes is an inflammatory and oxidative disease, with an escalating global burden. Still, there is no definite treatment for diabetes or even prevention of its harmful complications. Therefore, understanding the molecular pathways associated with diabetes might help in finding a solution.
