Deletion of Nrf2 impairs functional recovery, reduces clearance of myelin debris and decreases axonal remyelination after peripheral nerve injury

► Deletion of Nrf2 impairs functional recovery after sciatic nerve crush ► Deletion of Nrf2 led to reduced clearance of myelin debris ► Deletion of Nrf2 led to less macrophages accumulation in the injured nerve ► Deletion of Nrf2 resulted in slightly less preserved fibers and new axonal sprouts ► Deletion of Nrf2 decreases axonal remyelination
