TL;DR

An international study shows boosting NAD+ levels can protect and reverse Alzheimer's-related brain damage by activating an EVA1C-regulated RNA-splicing pathway, correcting mis-splicing, improving hundreds of genes tied to brain health, and restoring memory in worm and mouse models with supporting human brain data—hinting at a new therapeutic approach beyond targeting plaques or tangles.
