Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), working in collaboration with colleagues at other centers in Spain and abroad, have identified defects in the ...

Children with progeria age too quickly, developing symptoms common in much older people, such as joint stiffness and heart disease. While most progeria research surrounds the genetic mutation that ...

Researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a mouse model of the premature aging syndrome known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), according to a report appearing ...

The results of a University of Maryland (UMD)-led study could point to new and improved treatment approaches for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare genetic disorder that causes ...

Children with progeria age too quickly, developing symptoms common in much older people such as heart disease and joint stiffness. Treatments focus on managing symptoms, but the FDA could approve a ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Biomedical engineers have grown miniature human blood vessels that exhibit many of the symptoms and drug reactions associated with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome -- an extremely ...

Scientists have developed the most advanced disease model for blood vessels to date and used it to discover a unique role of the endothelium in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. This devastating ...

Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) and the Spanish Cardiovascular Research Network (CIBERCV), led by Dr Vicente Andrés, have generated the HGPSrev ...

CRISPR gene editing has been used to more than double the lifespan of mice engineered to have the premature ageing disease progeria, also greatly improving their health. The results far surpassed ...
