Article Abstract
Pancreatic β-cell function declines with age, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we attempted to address how to reverse β-cell aging. Our data showed that sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) overexpression can reduce age-associated DNA damage, cell death, and functional decline in β-cells. Our findings suggest that improving Sirt6 gene expression and function may slow down β-cell decline in older patients.
