Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), one of the most common complications of diabetes, can lead to high health care costs and affect significantly the quality of life. The underlying mechanism responsible for the chronicity of DFU is currently unclear, but it is likely to be multifactorial. Current knowledge suggests an involvement of a number of inflammatory signal molecules including interleukins and chemokines that are key regulators in the tissue repair process.
