New paper @nature identifies how the essential molecule NAD+ is taken up by mitochondria, the cell’s energy-producing symbionts that decline with age.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

NAD+ in mito is VIP⚡️
NAD+ is a very important cofactor for mitochondria I mean obviously mitochondria or making NADH and that hydrogen the proton is used and electrons are used to basically generate energy through the electron transport chain and it's also generating the mitochondrial membrane potential by kicking out the the proton so that that's really important for mitochondrial function and respiratory function energy production which is like the key of everything right
