New Discoveries Link Metabolites to Aging and Disease Control.

Scientists at BTI and Cornell University have discovered new insights into a family of metabolites known as acylspermidines, which could transform how we understand aging and treat diseases. The work, just published in Nature Chemical Biology, reveals an unexpected link between spermidine, a well-known chemical found in all living cells, and sirtuins, an enzyme family …
