Mechanistically, DOX stabilizes the copper importer SLC31A1 (CTR1) by inhibiting its proteasomal degradation and downregulating the copper efflux transporter ATPase Copper Transporting Beta (ATP7B), leading to a net increase in cellular copper [17, 76]

This study innovatively focuses on the mechanism by which FOXO4-DRI induces apoptosis in senescent endothelial cells, demonstrating that it functions by activating the p53/BCL-2/Caspase-3 signaling pathway to promote selective apoptosis of these cells
The peptide activates vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), triggering the VEGFR2-Akt-eNOS pathway, which promotes angiogenesis and improves blood flow to damaged tissue
