Research Study Findings from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Update Understanding of Cancer (The dual role of sirtuins in cancer: biological functions and implications).

A research study conducted by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China explores the role of sirtuins in cancer. Sirtuins are enzymes that play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell metabolism, DNA repair, aging, and oxidative stress. The study highlights the dual roles of sirtuins in cancer, either as promoters or inhibitors, in different types of cancers such as oral, breast, hepatocellular, lung, and gastric cancers. The research also discusses potential anti-tumor agents targeting sirtuins and the complex relationship between sirtuins, miRNAs, and chemotherapeutic drugs. These findings hold promise for improving clinical outcomes and advancing cancer treatment. [Extracted from the article]
