SIRT2 and NAD(+) Boosting Broadly Suppress Aging-Associated Inflammation

3 months 2 weeks ago
Aging leads to chronic inflammation that is linked to aging-associated conditions and diseases. Multiple immune pathways become activated during aging, posing a challenge to effectively reduce aging-associated inflammation. SIRT2, an NAD^(+)-dependent deacetylase, suppresses several immune pathways that become activated during aging and may represent an attractive target to broadly dampen aging-associated inflammation. Here, we show that SIRT2 deficiency leads to increased inflammation governed...

Fluphenazine, an antipsychotic compound, ameliorates Alzheimer's disease by clearing amyloid beta accumulation in C. elegans

3 months 2 weeks ago
The aging population worldwide faces an increasing burden of age-related conditions, with Alzheimer's disease being a prominent neurodegenerative concern. Drug repurposing, the practice of identifying new therapeutic applications for existing drugs, offers a promising avenue for accelerated intervention. In this study, we utilized the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to screen a library of 1760 FDA-approved compounds, both with and without rapamycin, to assess potential synergistic effects on...
