In type 1 diabetic mice and high glucose-cultured HK-2 cells, it was demonstrated that circ_ASAP2 binding to miR-770-5p reduced inflammation and ferroptosis by regulating the SRY-box transcription factor 2 (SOX2)/SLC7A11 pathway[153]
Do we have clear escalation pathways to clinical staff for red-flag symptoms
