This book illustrates the activities of mammalian sirtuin SIRT6 in
connection with DNA damage repair and premature aging. It mainly
presents research on the nuclear lamin A, notably the upregulation of
p53 and acetylation etc. Taken together, these studies reveal the
various regulatory roles of SIRT6, which are of substantial biological
relevance in DNA damage repair, aging and longevity, and can have
significant implications in devising therapeutic strategies to combat
age-associated pathologies. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable
resource for students and researchers in the fields of genetics, cell
biology, molecular biology etc.
