Environmental Stress Response and Survival Strategy of Human Being

Program Theme

Keap1–Nrf2 system plays important roles in cytoprotection on environmental stress response. By elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of Keap1–Nrf2 system, we could propose survival strategy of human being. We have been organizing a series of “The Environmental Response Symposium”, focused on the KEAP1–NRF2 system, in Japan once every few years. It has been 3 years since the last Environmental Response V Symposium. In the intervening period, we have seen many interesting developments in the KEAP1–NRF2 field. The purpose of the symposium is to exchange and discuss the most recent cutting–edge research in the field of KEAP1 and NRF2.
