FDA Halts NMN Supplement Approval, Citing Pharmaceutical Potential
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdraws new dietary supplement (NDI) status of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) under pharmaceutical industry pressure.
New Study Finds NAD+ Precursors Promote Wound Healing by Leveraging Skin Regeneration
Scientists find that the NAD+ precursors nicotinamide, NR, and NMN increase skin regrowth in elderly mice
Scientists Increase Muscle Size and Strength by Restoring Stem Cells with Senolytic Agent
The senolytic fisetin increases the muscle size and strength of prematurely aged mice by increasing muscle stem cells and reducing fat stem cells.
New Aging Clock Predicts NMN and Metformin Reduce Biological Age
Researchers from China develop a new aging clock based on gene activity that estimates the aging rate of adults, showing NMN and Metformin slow aging.
Whey Protein Shown to Reduce Cardiac Scarring and Blood Vessel Thickness
Chinese scientists show that ɑ-lactalbumin, a protein found in milk, can protect against heart scarring and blood vessel thickening in elderly mice by ameliorating inflammation.
Study Finds NMN Protects Intestinal Wall from Cancer Radiation Therapy Injury
Chinese scientists find that NMN protects against intestinal damage caused by radiation — commonly used to treat elderly cancer patients.
NMN Inhibits COVID-19 Infection, According to Chinese Study
Age-associated DNA damage promotes viral entry of SARS-CoV-2 into the lung cells of mice, yet NMN prevents this infection.
Resveratrol Reduces Brain Cell Inflammation and Senescence, Shows Study
Brazilian scientists show that resveratrol reduces markers of inflammation and senescence (functional deterioration) in brain cells taken from aged rats.
Study Suggests Rapamycin Can Overcome Genetic Differences in Vascular Aging
Scientists find that the longevity-associated drug rapamycin alleviates vascular aging in rats with low physical endurance.
NMN Antioxidant Activity Prevents Liver Injury in New Study
Chinese researchers show that NMN prevents liver injury by activating longevity-associated sirtuin enzymes and enhancing antioxidant defenses.
NMN Demonstrates Potential Efficacy in a Glaucoma Model
Researchers demonstrate that NMN treatment bars damage to the eyes following pressure-induced injury similar to glaucoma in mice.
NMN Increases DNA Building Block Production for Mitochondria, Japanese Study Finds
A new study shows NMN increases the production of DNA building blocks (nucleotides) in the mitochondria of human kidney cells.
Study Shows GDF-11 Protein from Young Marrow Alleviates Muscle Decline
Scientists find that transplanting prematurely aged mice with the bone marrow of young mice increases muscle mass while improving strength and endurance, a phenomenon largely replicated by GDF-11 treatment.
Study Finds Poor Psychological States Accelerate Aging More than Smoking
Researchers find that negative mental health factors like feeling unhappy pick up the pace of aging more than health conditions like liver disease or smoking.
UNSW Study Shows NMN Corrects Hormonal Disorder-Related Metabolic Dysfunction
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) ameliorates obesity and improves insulin sensitivity in a mouse model for a female hormonal disorder – polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
