The Role of SIRT6 Protein in Aging and Reprogramming of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
8 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Aging is known to be the single most important risk factor for multiple diseases. Sirtuin 6, or SIRT6, has recently been identified as a critical regulator of transcription, genome stability, telomere integrity, DNA repair, and metabolic homeostasis. A knockout mouse model of SIRT6 has displayed dramatic phenotypes of accelerated aging. In keeping with its role in aging, we demonstrated that human dermal...
