Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), a common disorder in diabetes, is associated with severe microenvironment imbalance due to immunometabolic stress. However, the underlying mechanistic drivers remain unclear. Here, we generate single-cell atlas of human nerves and identify cell-specific transcriptional changes DPN as well aberrant amplification mast cells. Using streptozotocin-induced mouse diabetes models, further find that glucose uptake mediated by GLUT3 high-glucose (HG) diabetic...
