Itaconic acid induces angiogenesis and suppresses apoptosis via Nrf2/autophagy to prolong the survival of multi-territory perforator flaps
Background: Perforator flaps are widely used in hand microsurgery to reconstruct and repair soft tissue injuries. However, ischemia and subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury may cause distal necrosis of the flap. Itaconic acid (IA) is a modulator of macrophage function, which exerts anti-inflammato...
