In brief, our work provides evidence that MSR has an active role in the pathogenesis of AD, as reducing mitochondrial homeostasis via atf4 depletion in AD mice aggravates the hallmarks of the disease; conversely, bolstering mitochondrial proteostasis by NMN decreases protein aggregation, restores memory performance, and delays disease progression, ultimately translating to increased healthspan. This evidence concerns the gene NTS and Alzheimer disease.
