      Brakedal, Brage; Dölle, Christian; Riemer, Frank; Ma, Yilong; Nido, Gonzalo Sanchez; Skeie, Geir Olve; Craven, Alexander R.; Schwarzlmüller, Thomas; Brekke, Njål; Diab, Joseph; Sverkeli, Lars Jansen; Skjeie, Vivian; Varhaug, Kristin Nielsen; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Peng, Shichun; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Ziegler, Mathias; Grüner, Renate; Eidelberg, David; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      We conducted a double-blinded phase I clinical trial to establish whether nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) replenishment therapy, via oral intake of nicotinamide riboside (NR), is safe, augments cerebral NAD levels, ...
    • Ultra-deep whole genome bisulfite sequencing reveals a single methylation hotspot in human brain mitochondrial DNA 

      Guitton, Romain Guillaume Bernard; Dölle, Christian; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Nido, Gonzalo Sanchez; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      While DNA methylation is established as a major regulator of gene expression in the nucleus, the existence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation remains controversial. Here, we characterized the mtDNA methylation landscape ...
