Abstract
Nrf2 is a central regulator of cellular antioxidant and other cytoprotective genes. Several recent studies revealed a novel role for Nrf2 signaling in protecting against viral infections, including COVID-19. The findings from these studies pointed to a feasibility for treating viral infections, including COVID-19, via pharmacological activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway.
