From the authors: “Our study provides new insights into how inflammation affects Sirt6 levels and may reveal a novel therapeutic target—miR-92b—for rescuing Sirt6 expression in the inflamed gut.” 

This study is highlighted as one of April's "best of the best" as part of the American Physiological Society's APSselect program.
