Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) serves as a signaling molecule or a co-enzyme in multiple critical biological reactions. The enzymes whose activities are dependent on NAD+ such as PARPs and Sirtuins, have a diverse biology in health and disease, and represent potential nutritional and therapeutic targets to prevent or treat aging, cancer, and metabolic dysregulation. The conference “NAD+ Metabolism and Signaling” originally planned as a full in-person meeting was rescheduled for 2022 due to the pandemic. To give the researchers an opportunity to meet in 2021, the organizers decided to hold an online conference on June 15 and 16, 2021. The objective of the 2021 conference was to provide a platform for junior researchers to present their latest scientific results. Therefore, majority of the presentations were chosen from the submitted abstracts, with a limited number of invited keynote lectures. Conference’s topics were ‘NAD signaling’, ‘poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and PARPs’, ‘sirtuins’, and ‘metabolism and interventions’. FASEB ‘NAD Metabolism and Signaling 2021’ is part of a series with previous conferences held in Dublin (2019), New Orleans (2017), Hamburg/Timmendorfer Strand (2015), Itasca/Chicago (2013), and Barga/Lucca (2011).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
