Team of Israeli and international researchers uncovers key preventive measure of DNA breakdown, which also is linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and in the future may be able to delay or prevent age-related diseases
The research focuses on a protein called SIRT6, which seems to have remarkable properties.
Study shows that single short peptides have an important role as a kinase inhibitor that can slow tumor growth and metastasis.
Muslims and Jews save disabled woman When a disabled woman suffered a heart attack at a care facility, three EMTs from United Hatzalah’s Mevaseret region worked together to save her life. They included Murad Barhom – a Muslim Arab who has had a home in the Jewish Kibbutz of Kiryat Anavim for nearly 40 years. The hunger switch Researchers at Israel’s Weizmann Institute and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with UK colleagues, have found that melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptor is the master switch for hunger in the brain. It is normally “on” (“I feel full”) until energy levels drop. ...
Genes predicting healthy ageing identified Genes predicting healthy ageing identified Last Updated: Mon, Apr 5th, 2021, 12:01:26hrs Jerusalem, April 5 (IANS) A team of researchers has identified a set of genes that can tell whether people are heading towards healthy ageing or not. Accumulation of unrepaired DNA damage has been one of the main causes of ageing. These can also lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The study, published in the journal Ageing, targetted SIRT6 gene -- known to play an instrumental role in DNA repair. The SIRT6 gene was found to h...
