Nuclear Factor Erythroid-Related Factor 2 Signaling in the Neuropathophysiology of Inherited Metabolic Disorders

Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) are rare genetic conditions that affect multiple organs, predominantly the central nervous system. Since treatment for a large number of IMDs is limited, there is an urgent need to find novel therapeutical targets. Nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2)...

description Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) are rare genetic conditions that affect multiple organs, predominantly the central nervous system.
