University of Konstanz Researchers Report Recent Findings in Central Nervous System Disorders (Programmed neurite degeneration in human central nervous system neurons driven by changes in NAD+ metabolism).

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have conducted a study on programmed neurite degeneration in human central nervous system neurons driven by changes in NAD+ metabolism. The research focused on understanding how neurite degeneration precedes cell death in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that altered NAD+ metabolism plays a crucial role in neurite loss, offering potential new strategies for treating neurodegenerative diseases. The study was published in Cell Death and Disease and funded by various organizations including Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and Bundesministerium FuR Bildung Und Forschung.
