Researchers have described a relationship between the NAD+ regulator CD38, mitochondrial function, and the gradual destruction of bone in Aging Cell. Inflammation up, bone mass down Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD): Benefits and ResearchNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It is a dinucleotide, which means that it consists of two...

A new preprint from David Sinclair’s lab has discovered that NMN supplementation started in midlife increases median and maximal lifespan in female mice and boosts healthspan in males [1]. NAD and aging Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a ubiquitous metabolite that performs several crucial roles. NAD’s oxidized version, NAD+, participates in energy production, facilitates DNA...

Researchers publishing in Nature Communications have found that nicotinamide riboside (NR) improves walking distance for people who have peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the legs. When the arms and legs don't get enough blood Ischemia, the failure of blood vessels to deliver sufficient oxygen and nutrients, is a key part of fatal conditions such as...

Researchers have published a method of rescuing cells from damaged mitochondria and cellular senescence, potentially alleviating major aspects of aging. Bad mitochondria must be consumed What is Autophagy?Autophagy, derived from ancient Greek, means "eating of self". Autophagy is the way cells break down misbehaving or nonfunctional organelles and proteins in the cell. This means that...

Researchers have published a potential new method of treating the age-related muscle loss known as sarcopenia in Aging Cell. A return to NAD+ Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD): Benefits and ResearchNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It is a dinucleotide, which means that it consists of two nucleotides joined through...

A new review authored by three acclaimed geroscientists paints a promising picture of past and ongoing human clinical trials of prospective anti-aging drugs [1]. From worms and mice to humans The biology of aging is an exciting new field, but most of its successes have been in animal models, from the early breakthroughs in yeast...
