    Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is linked to chronic inflammation, thrombotic imbalance, and impaired wound healing in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  • 2

    Proteomic analysis revealed differences in acute-phase and stress-associated proteins between DFS patients and diabetic controls.

  • 3

    Several damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) showed coordinated abundance changes, indicating a systemic molecular pattern in DFS.

  • 4

    Inhibition of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in a murine model altered the abundance of circulating proteins associated with inflammation.

  • 5

    The study provides evidence for systemic alterations in DAMP abundance in DFS, suggesting potential pathways for future research.
