Michael Karin’s (UC-San Diego SRP) latest article, “Sestrin as a Feedback Inhibitor of TOR That Prevents Age-Related Pathologies”, was featured on the cover of the March 5th edition of Science magazine. Karin’s research group identified the protein Sestrin in fruit flies, which serves as a natural inhibitor of aging and age-related pathologies. The protein is also found in humans and may serve a similar function. You can read the entire article at the Science magazine website.

Congratulations, Michael!
