Targeted de-repression of neuronal Nrf2 inhibits α-synuclein accumulation

Abstract Many neurodegenerative diseases are associated with neuronal misfolded protein accumulation, indicating a need for proteostasis-promoting strategies. Here we show that de-repressing the transcription factor Nrf2, epigenetically shut-off in early neuronal development, can prevent protein agg...
