Topics Webinar | Advances in Natural Products and Their Derivatives for Metabolic and Chronic Inflammatory Disease Therapy, 28 June 2024

We are thrilled to welcome you to our upcoming webinar “Advances in Natural Products and Their Derivatives for Metabolic and Chronic Inflammatory Disease Therapy" that promises to be a pivotal event under the Special Issue “Advances in Natural Products and Their Derivatives for Metabolic and Chronic Inflammatory Disease Therapy”.

In this engaging webinar, we will shed light on the critical role of the NRF-2 transcription factor (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) in modulating inflammatory diseases and how natural compounds offer valuable insights for research and development of effective therapies.

Join us as we delve into the latest discoveries and insights surrounding NRF-2, a pivotal protein in stress response and inflammation regulation, and explore the potential implications for therapeutic interventions.
