The once-popular mitochondrial free radical theory of aging proved to be too glib. Aging isn’t fundamentally about dispersed damage; rather, dispersed damage is a result when the body’s defenses stand...
View ArticleWhy NAD+ Declines during Aging: It’s Destroyed
NAD+ is required not only for life but for a long life. In this issue, Camacho-Pereira et al. (2016) implicate CD38 in the decline of NAD+ during aging, with implications for combating age-related...
