Bar-Ilan University Scientists Uncover How Sirt6 Balances a Key Longevity Molecule to Protect Against Aging and Disease

Caption

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered how the longevity-associated protein Sirt6 orchestrates a delicate molecular balancing act that protects the body from age-related decline and disease. The new findings reveal how Sirt6 preserves health during aging and may pave the  way for therapies that promote a longer, healthier life.  Photo: Prof. Haim Cohen, Director of the Sagol Healthy Human Longevity Center at Bar-Ilan University’s Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences.
