OverviewAI-generated summary
Claudia C.S. Chini's research focuses on the role of NAD+ metabolism and its associated enzymes, particularly CD38, in aging and various pathological conditions. Her work investigates how disruptions in NAD+ levels impact cellular function, stem cell activation, and organ system health. Recent publications explore the implications of CD38 glycohydrolase activity, examining its function as an "NAD+ sink" and its relevance in disease states.
Chini's group has published studies on the effects of CD38 suppression, demonstrating increased lifespan and healthspan in mouse models of aging, as well as improvements in cardiac function and NAD+ levels. Her research also addresses the decline of spermatogenesis associated with low NAD+ levels in aging mice and investigates the pro-inflammatory effects of specific NAD+ precursors on macrophages. Furthermore, her work has identified a critical role for astrocytic NAD+ glycohydrolase in myelin repair and regeneration following injury.
With an h-index of 29 and over 4,435 citations across 80 publications, Chini is recognized as a highly cited researcher. She leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and collaborates with colleagues within the institution, including Aaron Warren, Ha‐Neui Kim, Ana I. Coelho, and Olivia Reyes‐Castro.
