Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential metabolite, and its depletion serves as a common bacterial immune strategy against bacteriophages (phages). In a recent issue of Nature, Osterman et al.1 reveal two phage-encoded NAD restoration pathways, showcasing the phages’ innovative counterstrategies against bacterial immunity and providing insights for developing novel antimicrobial approaches.

期刊介绍:
Cell Chemical Biology, a Cell Press journal established in 1994 as Chemistry & Biology, focuses on publishing crucial advances in chemical biology research with broad appeal to our diverse community, spanning basic scientists to clinicians. Pioneering investigations at the chemistry-biology interface, the journal fosters collaboration between these disciplines. We encourage submissions providing significant conceptual advancements of broad interest across chemical, biological, clinical, and related fields. Particularly sought are articles utilizing chemical tools to perturb, visualize, and measure biological systems, offering unique insights into molecular mechanisms, disease biology, and therapeutics.
