Abstract

The relationship between progerias--diseases that resemble premature aging--and the normal aging process has been a source of debate in the aging research community. A recent study finds that LMNA, a gene targeted for mutation in Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome, may control the onset of aging-associated decline in normal fibroblasts.
