The role of Sestrins in the regulation of the aging process

Sestrins (Sesns) represent a highly conserved family of stress-inducing proteins that are involved in antioxidant and autophagy regulatory functions. They are very important mediators as they can protect the cells under a variety of noxious stimulating conditions. However, the functions of Sesns in aging has not yet been fully understood. Here, we summarize the roles of Sesns in the aging process. A series of studies have shown that Sesns are...
