K21

Intervention

1 paper5 findings

A study reports that K21 induces mitophagy in worms and human macrophages, extends worm lifespan and improves bacterial phagocytosis in human macrophages. All five findings come from one lab and papers naming the National Institutes of Health as funder and declaring an interest of the maker of what is studied; there are no human studies.
