SIRT6 protein could protect against agerelated breakdown in chromatin, possibly help reverse aging
May 19, 2026
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have successfully restored youthful patterns of DNA organization in the livers of old mice, reversing key molecular features associated with aging. The study, published in Nature Communications, identifies the protein SIRT6 as a powerful protector against age-relat
ed breakdown in chromatin, the complex system that packages DNA and controls how genes are switched on and off. ...read more read less
