The Transcription Factor NRF2: Biology, Disease and Translational Opportunities offers a detailed and authoritative reference on NRF2, a key regulator of cellular defence against oxidative stress. This book thoroughly examines the latest research, from molecular mechanisms to clinical applications, highlighting NRF2’s essential function in cell protection, disease prevention, and its promise as a therapeutic target. The book opens with an introduction to NRF2 and its role in cellular homeostasis before exploring its molecular structure, regulation and signalling mechanisms. Its antioxidant response is then discussed, followed by its impact on inflammation, autophagy, and resistance to environmental and chemical stresses. Later chapters cover NRF2’s role in cancer, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases. Cutting-edge techniques are also provided, including AI-based and systems biology tools. Case studies emphasize translational potential and therapeutic development.

The Transcription Factor NRF2: Biology, Disease and Translational Opportunities equips researchers, clinicians, and advanced students with critical knowledge to understand NRF2’s multifaceted functions and therapeutic potential. It serves as an essential guide for advancing research and strategies targeting NRF2 in a diverse array of medical conditions, and is an ideal reference for those working across cell biology, molecular biology, biomedicine and related fields.
