NAD⁺ Boosting Reduces Age-Associated Amyloidosis and Restores Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Muscle

This 2021 study investigates the impact of NAD⁺ boosting on age-related muscle degeneration. The research demonstrates that aging is associated with the accumulation of amyloid-like deposits and mitochondrial dysfunction in muscle tissues across species, including C. elegans, mice, and humans. Treatment with NAD⁺ precursors, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and

The Gut Microbiota and Ageing

This 2018 review published in Subcellular Biochemistry (PMID: 30779015) explores the evolving relationship between gut microbiota and aging, synthesizing research from model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster, killifish, mice, and Caenorhabditis elegans. It highlights how age-associated changes in gut microbial composition may not only reflect aging but actively contribute to
