Excited to see this work published! 🎉
NR treatment was associated with reduced skeletal muscle epigenetic age acceleration, while HIIT had opposite effects. Many thanks to @ainoeheik and @MiinaOllikainen for the great collaboration!

New bioRxiv preprint from our lab🔥! We show that chemotherapy disrupts tissue NAD+ metabolism and identify muscle Nrk2 expression as a early marker of muscle mass changes.
Congrats to Noora Pöllänen for excellent work and thanks to all collaborators!
