Points:
- “The compound works by restoring communication between energy cells within the body which have broken down as we get older.”
- “His [Professor David Sinclair] team are now looking at the longer-term outcomes of the NAD-producing compound in mice and how it affects the mouse as a whole.”
- “They are also exploring whether the compound can be used to safely treat rare diseases or more common diseases such as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.”
- “Longer term, the professor plans to test if the compound will give mice a healthier, longer life.”
