ML385 inihbits the activity of the Nrf2 transcription factor by binding to Neh1, a CNC-bZIP domain that allows Nrf2 to heterodimerize with small Maf proteins, blocking NRF2 transcriptional activity. Much research has been done on activating Nrf2 because it induces cytoprotective antioxidant genes. However, some cancer cells may use Nrf2 similarly for their survival. Nrf2 is overexpressed in certain cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often due to loss of function mutations in KEAP1, which targets Nrf2 for proteasomal degradation. ML385 was found to have anti-tumor activity with specificity and selectivity for NSCLC cells with KEAP1 mutations.

Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) is a commensal bacterium that colonizes the gastrointestinal tract of breast-fed infants. B. infantis can efficiently utilize the abundant supply of oligosaccharides found in human milk (HMO) to help establish residence. We hypothesized that
Vitiligo is a depigmentation disease commonly seen in clinical practice, mainly involving loss of functional epidermal pigment cells and hair follicle melanocytes. Narrow‑band ultraviolet B (NB‑UVB) has emerged as the first choice of treatment for vitiligo, but long‑term exposure may have

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is caused by blood flow recovery following ischemia. Baicalein (BAI), a natural antioxidant used in traditional Chinese medicine, eliminates excessive free radicals and protects the structure of the cell membrane. However, its protective mechanism against HIRI

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were considered a regenerative therapeutic approach in both acute and chronic diseases. However, whether MSCs regulate the antioxidant metabolism of CD4+ T cells and weaken immunosenescence remains unclear. Here, we reported the protective effects of hPMSCs
Background Intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are treated by inducing ischemic cell death with transarterial embolization (TAE) or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). A subset of HCCs harbor nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a major regulator of the oxidative stress response
