Biotech Startup Aims to Harness New NAD+-Related Drug Against Aging

The longevity biotech company, MetaShape, has a new compound designed to restore cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and offset elevated cholesterol, cognitive decline, and neurodegeneration.

New Study Shows How Boosting NAD+ Could Protect Against Parkinson’s

Recent research from Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China, demonstrates that administering NAD+ precursors to mice can safeguard the brain against neurodegeneration

Fresh Insights: NR’s Effects on Inflammation in Age-Related Lung Disease

Taking nicotinamide riboside (NR) is tied to a 52.6% reduction of an inflammatory protein in the sputum—mucus coughed up from the respiratory tract—of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
