Targeting Nrf2/HO-1 anti-oxidant signaling pathway in the progression of multiple sclerosis and influences on neurological dysfunctions
The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) transcription factor/Hemoxygenase 1 (HO-1) is a primary regulator of essential cytoprotective responses in the brain. It activates the expression of various neuroprotective genes that code for anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying prote...
