Sirtuins are proteins that play a key role in aging from "summary" of Lifespan by David Sinclair,Matthew D. Laplante
Sirtuins are like the superheroes of the cellular world, swooping in to save the day when things start to go awry. When our cells are under stress, whether from lack of nutrients, exposure to toxins, or simply the passage of time, sirtuins step in to repair the damage and keep things running smoothly. Think of them as the guardians of our cellular health, ensuring that everything functions as it should.
One of the key functions of sirtuins is their ability to regulate gene expression, essentially determining which genes are switched on and off in our cells. By controlling gene expression, sirtuins can influence a wide range of processes, from metabolism and inflammation to DNA repair and cell death. This ability to fine-tune gene activity allows sirtuins to adapt our cells to changing conditions, helping us to thrive even in challenging environments.
But perhaps the most intriguing role of sirtuins is their impact on aging. As we grow older, our cells start to accumulate damage and lose their ability to function...
