In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Pirinen et al. (2020) show that disruption in NAD homeostasis is a key component of the pathogenesis of mitochondrial myopathy in humans that can be targeted by the administration of the NAD precursor niacin, identifying NAD boosting as a potential treatment for this devastating disease.
在本期《细胞代谢》中,Pirinen 等人(2020 年)表明,NAD 动态平衡的破坏是人类线粒体肌病发病机制的一个关键组成部分,通过给予 NAD 前体烟酸可以靶向治疗该疾病,这也确定了 NAD 提升作为治疗这种毁灭性疾病的一种潜在疗法。
