Where this comes from

Abstract

In this issue, Fang et al. (2016) show that both the DNA repair defect and mitochondrial dysfunction in ATM-/- cells or mice are mitigated by the anti-aging compound nicotinamide riboside or a SIRT1 activator. This broad suppression by activating the NAD+/SIRT1 axis may generally apply to diseases and aging maladies.
