Metformin Alleviates High Glucose‐Induced Pyroptosis and Inflammatory Responses in HK‐2 Cells via SIRT1‐Associated Regulation of the TXNIP/NLRP3 Pathway

Pyroptosis, a Gasdermin‐dependent inflammatory form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in DKD progression and metformin has shown renoprotective effects in DKD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Modulating the NLRP3/IL-1β Axis in Age-Related Atherosclerosis: Natural Products, Molecular Mechanisms, and Translational Perspectives—A Narrative Review

Atherosclerosis is an age-related immune-metabolic disease in which lipid retention, endothelial dysfunction, innate immune activation, and vascular remodeling interact over decades. In older adults, inflammaging, mitochondrial dysfunction, defective autophagy/mitophagy, and cellular senescence may lower the threshold...
