The Cohen lab investigate the molecular mechanisms of healthy aging

@JohnFromCranber @DrEliDavid Currently investigating it. We hypothesize this to be generally true, given its dependence on the enzymatic activity of SIRT6 on chromatin.

What if aging is reversible?
Excited to share our new paper published in Nature Communications. We discovered that livers of old mice can be rejuvenated by the longevity protein SIRT6, offering hope for clinical applications in humans. 👉https://t.co/n78pm1bffE

Congrats to lab alum, Haim Cohen, whose team’s discovered that longevity gene SIRT6 controls synthesis of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), helping explain why mice with extra SIRT6 live longer & why caloric restriction is so beneficial ..

A hidden code for longevity
Excited to share our recent #aging paper published in @NatureComms: https://t.co/LSN3vo8j3h. We explore a specific set of acetylation sites that mediate #longevity during evolution and how these sites can help prevent cancer in large long-lived mammals
