Selective inhibition of mTORC1 by AICAR and NAM boosts autophagy, retains MSCs' self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capacity, and postpones senescence-associated changes after prolonged in vitro culture. Additionally, co-administration of AICAR and NAM shows an additive or probably a synergistic effect on cellular senescence.
