Nrf2 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]
The nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is known as the chief regulator of cellular antioxidant defenses as well as a suppressor of inflammation. Macrophages act as major players in inflammatory responses. Because oxidative stress and inflammation are two intertwined processes, the anti-inflammatory activity of Nrf2 signaling is believed to ...

Loricrin and NRF2 Coordinate Cornification [PDF]
Cornification involves cytoskeletal cross-linkages in corneocytes (the brick) and the secretion of lipids/adhesion structures to the interstitial space (the mortar). Because the assembly of lipid envelopes precedes corneocyte maturation, loricrin is supposed to be dispensable for the protection against desiccation.

A novel mechanism of action of HER2 targeted immunotherapy is explained by inhibition of NRF2 function in ovarian cancer cells [PDF]
Nuclear erythroid related factor-2 (NRF2) is known to promote cancer therapeutic detoxification and crosstalk with growth promoting pathways. HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase is frequently overexpressed in cancers leading to uncontrolled receptor activation

Carvacrol Ameliorating Effects on Trimethyltin Chloride-Induced Neurotoxicity by Modulating the Interplay between Nrf2/Keap1/ARE Pathway and Sirt1 [PDF]
Background and objectives: Trimethyltin chloride (TMT) is a chemical with neurotoxic effects on central nervous system. Carvacrol is a phenolic monoterpenoid with antioxidative properties derived from oregano, thyme, and other plants. We aimed to explore

Dangerous Entrapment for NRF2 [PDF]
Progerin, a mutated lamin A, causes the severe premature-aging syndrome Hutchinson-Gilford progeria (HGPS). Kubben et al. present a driving mechanism for HGPS involving trapping of NRF2 at the nuclear periphery by progerin. This local restriction results in impaired NRF2 signaling and chronic oxidative stress.
