1) MANF in Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) (90% of chemo patients experience this)
Neuropharmacology Volume 268, 1 May 2025, 110342
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF): A novel therapeutic target for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy via regulation of integrated stress response and neuroinflammation
To conclude, our study underscores the potential of MANF as a viable therapeutic target for CIPN, manifesting its ability to modulate ISR and neuroinflammation. These insights recommend that continued exploration of MANF-centered approaches could facilitate the advancement of more efficacious interventions for this incapacitating chemotherapy complication.

2) MANF in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). MANF overexpression ameliorates oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of human nucleus pulposus cells by facilitating mitophagy through promoting MFN2 expression
Sci Rep. 2025 Jan 2;15(1):476.
doi: 10.1038/s41598-024-84167-9

3) MANF in Acute lung injury (ALI). Involvement of PRDX6 in the protective role of MANF in acute lung injury in rats
Xiuli Yang et al. Exp Lung Res. 2025.
Results: In WT rats, MANF reversed the increases of PRDX6, ROS overgeneration, and pyroptosis-related protein-Gasdermin D (GSDMD) induced by LPS challenge. In PRDX6-/- rats, ROS generation, the protein level of GSDMD-N, and lung injury were not significantly decreased after human recombinant MANF administration in LPS-induced ALI.

5) MANF in Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN)
Mesencephalic Astrocyte-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (MANF) Restricts Inflammatory Progression through Limiting Macrophage Infiltration in DRG and Sciatic Nerve during Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Peng Dai et al. ACS Chem Neurosci. 2025.
