This action protects the cell from programmed death, simultaneously safeguarding senescent cells from apoptosis [111]
However, the recovery of these regenerative capabilities (by increased expression of NAMPT for example) change the physiology of the cells towards stem-like cells, gaining some cancer properties, such as unlimited proliferative capacity, altered metabolism, DNA-repair, methylation alterations, with phenotype similar to CSCs, which deregulation by any other mutation initiate the tumor

After 8 weeks of hyperglycemic state, further pathological changes of diabetic C57B/6 mice in microvascular structure can occur, including expansion of the mesangial matrix of renal microvasculature and rupture of the renal tubular epithelium 321 The retinal ultrastructure changes, infoldings in retinal pigment epithelium layers are decreased, and balance or proprioception are impaired due to neurovascular disease
What we know NAD biology is well-established, and early human studies show that increasing NAD availability can influence metabolic and mitochondrial markers
