Are Astrocytes the Predominant Cell Type for Activation of Nrf2 in Aging and Neurodegeneration?

Jeffrey R. Liddell, Antioxidants 2017, 6(3), 65; doi:10.3390/antiox6030065

This review describes the evidence for Nrf2 activation in each cell type in prominent neurodegenerative diseases and normal aging in human brain and animal models of neurodegeneration, the response to pharmacological and genetic modulation of Nrf2, and clinical trials involving Nrf2-modifying drugs.
