A new mouse study found that unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks activate inflammatory signaling pathways that trigger early aging disorders.

Researchers have shown that harmful bonds between protein and DNA fuel immune attack in progeria. Pumping up a protein that cuts these bonds could prevent symptoms.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University constructed an advanced disease model for blood vessels prompting insights into Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, according to a study published in Stem ...

Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare disorder that impacts around 400 people in the world. Many people have heard of progeria because of its association with Benjamin Button - a fictional ...

A new breakthrough in a rare genetic disease which causes children to age rapidly has been discovered using 'longevity genes' found in people who live exceptionally long lives—over 100 years old. The ...

(Gray News) – The longest-living survivor of progeria has died at the age of 28. In a Facebook post, the Progeria Research Foundation announced that Sammy Basso passed away Saturday. “Sammy was the ...

When Sammy Basso was diagnosed with progeria at 2, it seemed likely that the disease’s hyper-accelerated aging would kill him before he graduated high school. “There was nothing. Nothing. No cure, of ...

MILAN (Reuters) - Sammy Basso, who was the longest living survivor of the rare genetic disease progeria, has died at the age of 28, the Italian Progeria Association said on Sunday. Progeria, also ...

Biologists tend not to discuss experimental results on a handful of cells and a single solitary mouse — too preliminary, too sketchy. David Liu of the Broad Institute therefore had no plans to present ...

In the spring of 2005, families affected by progeria welcomed the news from two studies that uncovered new information about this rare, devastating condition that causes premature aging in children.

Progeria is a very rare disease that affects about one in 18 million children and results in premature aging and death in adolescence from complications of cardiovascular disease. In a study on mice ...
