摘要
Sir2 deacetylases are believed to promote the survival and longevity of organisms during times of adversity. A new study shows that activation of Sir2 by small molecules called sirtuin-activating compounds increases neuronal survival in two different models of Huntington disease, possibly opening new avenues for treatment.
