Sirtuin proteins promote longevity in many organisms. Increased expression of one sirtuin protein, SIRT3, has been linked to increased human lifespan. New data, indicate that Sirt3 helps protect the ...

New research finds that the lack or loss of a protein in the cells known as SIRT3 induces the proliferation of breast cancer, suggesting that this protein may be a therapeutic target in the ...

The Tong Lab's main goal is to elucidate the molecular mechanism of metabolic regulation in response to nutritional changes and aging. We study the role of the Sirtuin genes, especially SIRT2 and ...

The quest for longer and healthier life, if not immortality, has been part of the human experience since we evolved the ability to recognize the total annihilation of individual death. Our ...

New research shows how curcumin’s molecular power protects bone cells from high-glucose stress, repairs mitochondria, and boosts antioxidant defences, offering hope for tackling diabetes-related bone ...

Eating a diet featuring chemicals known as ketones could protect brain cells from the progress of Alzheimer's disease, according to a study on mice. Scientists wanted to see if increasing the levels ...

This release is available in Spanish. Research published in the Cancer Cell journal in March was a significant step in knowing the causes of cancer better, especially breast cancer, revealing that the ...
