NAD+ homeostasis in human health and disease
Depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a central redox cofactor and the substrate of key metabolic enzymes, is the causative factor of a number of inherited and acquired diseases in humans. Primary deficiencies of NAD+ homeostasis are the

NAD+ and its metabolites serve important functions in intracellular signalling. NAD+-mediated regulatory processes also take place on the cell surface, particularly of immune cells. In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Gerth et al. have demonstrated a new mechanism of Ca2+ uptake into monocytes which is triggered by NAD+ or its degradation product,

Murine iNKT cells are depleted by liver damage via activation of P2RX7
Drug‐induced liver injury activates a suicide pathway in hepatic iNKT cells. The tissue damage induced release of ATP and NAD into the extracellular space triggers the receptor P2RX7 and leads locally to a long‐lasting depletion of iNKT cells. Abstract Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) constitute up to 50% of liver lymphocytes and contribute to ...

NAD(H) and NADP(H) Redox Couples and Cellular Energy Metabolism.
SIGNIFICANCE The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)/reduced NAD+ (NADH) and NADP+/reduced NADP+ (NADPH) redox couples are essential for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and for modulating numerous biological events, including cellular ...

Abstract Fatty liver disease is increasing along with the prevalence of obesity and type‐2 diabetes. Hepatic fibrosis is a major health complication for which there are no efficacious treatment options available. A better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that contribute to the accumulation of fibrosis is needed.

CD38, CD157, and RAGE as Molecular Determinants for Social Behavior
Recent studies provide evidence to support that cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) and CD157 meaningfully act in the brain as neuroregulators. They primarily affect social behaviors. Social behaviors are impaired in Cd38 and Cd157 knockout mice. Single-
