NAD⁺-carrying mesoporous silica nanoparticles can prevent oxidative stress-induced energy failures of both rodent astrocytes and PC12 cells.

AIM: To test the hypothesis that NAD(+)-carrying mesoporous silica nanoparticles (M-MSNs@NAD+) can effectively deliver NAD(+) into cells to produce cytoprotective effects. METHODS & MATERIALS: NAD(+) was incorporated into M-MSNs. Primary rat astrocyte cultures and PC12 cells were treated with H₂...
