Background: Receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is a multiligand receptor up-regulated at sites of inflammation, especially in tissues with accelerated advanced glycation end-products formation. It is additionally stimulated by RAGE ligands S100A12 and HMGB1 released from recruited immune cells thus perpetuating the inflammatory process with a potential role in the development of type 1 diabetes as well as in development in diabetes complicatio...
