A New Weapon Against Immune-System Diseases?
Anti-aging proteins are noted for protecting against cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disease. One protein may also be beneficial to the immune system, new research shows. The protein in question is called SIRT1, more commonly known for being activated by red wine. In the new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, scientists from the… Continue reading A New Weapon Against Immune-System Diseases?
