“…For instance, induced Nrf2 activation is believed to be favorable in helping to prevent or delay the onset of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer (Al-Sawaf et al, 2015;Buendia et al, 2016;Dinkova-Kostova et al, 2018;Dodson et al, 2019;Loboda et al, 2016;Lu et al, 2016;Silva-Palacios et al, 2018;Sivandzade et al, 2019;Sova & Saso, 2018), while overactivation can progress tumorigenesis and accelerate metastasis (Badrinath & Yoo, 2018;Dodson et al, 2019;Menegon, Columbano, & Giordano, 2016;Rabbani, Xue, Weickert, & Thornalley, 2018;Sabharwal & Schumacker, 2014;Silva-Palacios et al, 2018;Sova & Saso, 2018). Interestingly, although many studies link decreased activity of Nrf2 in the elderly (as part of the aging process, particularly in the brain) to an increased prevalence of (neuro)degenerative diseases (Silva-Palacios et al, 2018;Sivandzade et al, 2019), the decreased activity may actually be serving a protective role against UV-induced carcinogenesis in skin (Siegenthaler et al, 2018).…”
