  • Can blood NAD+ level reveal your biological age?

    When we think about aging, we often focus on visible signs like wrinkles, gray hair, and decreased energy. However, we are now looking deeper, exploring the molecular changes that occur as we age. Among these, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) plays a crucial role. This important molecule is at the heart of the NADIS consortium’s research,…

  • Maria’s secondment

    During my secondment in the Laboratory of Systems Biology and Genetics at EPFL, I had the unique opportunity to conduct an experiment involving the treatment of murine cells from subcutaneous tissue with NAD+ precursors and a PARP1 inhibitor. The process was highly interesting to me and included: the extraction of the stromal-vascular fraction, FACS sorting…

  • Benelux Metabolomics Days 2023

    Just last week, NADIS doctoral candidate Maria M. Tretowicz from Amsterdam UMC presented groundbreaking research on whole-blood nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) measurements at the Benelux Metabolomics Days 2023. Collaborating with the Amsterdam Movement Sciences Institute and the Amsterdam Cardiovascular Sciences Institute, her presentation included a single cohort study encompassing diverse groups: young and old individuals,…
