Read study record Cellular and structural study / 2022
Cryo-EM structural study resolving how NMN activates SARM1, the enzyme that drives axon degeneration when nerve injury depletes NMNAT2. Uses a nanobody to trap the active state.
Nature Communications
Read study record Preclinical mechanistic study / 2015
Preclinical injury-model study linking local NMN accumulation after NMNAT2 loss with axon degeneration; not evidence about routine oral NMN use in people.
