Core Tip	This review underscores the critical role of autophagy in Schwann cells (SCs) in the progression of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) progression, highlight its potential as a pharmacotherapeutic target. It explored autophagy mechanisms (mTOR, AMPK, and PINK/Parkin pathways), their dysregulation in DPN, and various autophagy-modulating agents (natural products and chemical drugs) that promote nerve regeneration and recovery of SCs function.
