Our work on the role of NAD+ de novo synthesis in MASLD is out in Journal of Hepatology! @JHepatology Inhibiting ACMSD boosts liver NAD+ levels and reduces fibrosis, inflammation, and DNA damage in both mice and human liver organoids. Paper:
journal-of-hepatology.eu
Recent findings reveal the importance of tryptophan-initiated de novo nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthesis in the liver, a process previously considered secondary to biosynthesis from...
