Abstract

A dietary supplement protects aging muscle: The oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) is critical for mitochondrial function, and its supplementation can lead to increased longevity. Zhang et al. found that feeding the NAD + precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) to aging mice protected them from muscle degeneration (see the Perspective by Guarente). NR treatment enhanced muscle function and also protected mice from the loss of muscle stem cells. The treatment was similarly protective of neural and melanocyte stem cells, which may have contributed to the extended life span of the NR-treated animals.

  • Mounting evidence supports a critical role for NAD+ in stem cell rejuvenation, including in hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial stem cells, muscle stem cells, and melanocyte stem cells.

    “Mounting evidence supports a critical role for NAD+ in stem cell rejuvenation, including in HSCs, endothelial stem cells, muscle stem cells, and melanocyte stem cells (Das et al., 2018; Vannini et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2016).”

  • In primary cell culture, nicotinamide riboside supplementation delays cellular senescence, and nicotinamide riboside treatment reduces the senescent state in neural stem cells and other stem cell types.

    “In primary cell culture, supplementation with NR delays cellular senescence (Wiley et al., 2016), and NR treatment also reduces the senescent state in both NSCs and other stem cell types (Zhang et al., 2016).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
