This document provides methods and materials for increasing or maintaining NMNAT2 polypeptide levels within cells. For example, compounds (e.g., organic compounds) having the ability to increase or maintain NMNAT2 polypeptide levels within cells, formulations containing compounds having the ability to increase or maintain NMNAT2 polypeptide levels within cells, methods for making compounds having the ability to increase or maintain NMNAT2 polypeptide levels within cells, methods for making formulations containing compounds having the ability to increase or maintain NMNAT2 polypeptide levels within cells, methods for increasing or maintain NMNAT2 polypeptide levels within cells, and methods for treating mammals (e.g., humans) having a condition responsive to an increase in NMNAT2 polypeptide levels are provided (or for preventing said condition). |
