HGPS-Derived iPSCs For The Ages [PDF]
In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Zhang et al. (2011) generate patient-derived iPSCs for one of the major premature aging diseases, Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS). These cells are a much-needed new tool to study HGPS, and their use may lead to novel insights into mechanisms of aging.

Truncated prelamin A expression in HGPS-like patients: a transcriptional study [PDF]
Premature aging syndromes are rare genetic disorders mimicking clinical and molecular features of aging. A recently identified group of premature aging syndromes is linked to mutation of the LMNA gene encoding lamins A and C, and is associated with ...

Lonafarnib and everolimus reduce pathology in iPSC-derived tissue engineered blood vessel model of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome [PDF]
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare, fatal genetic disease that accelerates atherosclerosis. With a limited pool of HGPS patients, clinical trials face unique challenges and require reliable preclinical testing. We previously reported a

Structure and stability of the lamin A tail domain and HGPS mutant [PDF]
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a premature aging syndrome caused by the expression and accumulation of a mutant form of lamin A, Δ50 lamin A. As a component of the cell's nucleoskeleton, lamin A plays an important role in the mechanical stabilization of the nuclear envelope and in other nuclear functions.

Targeting of NAT10 enhances healthspan in a mouse model of human accelerated aging syndrome
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare, but devastating genetic disease characterized by segmental premature aging, with cardiovascular disease being the main cause of death.

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare premature aging disease caused by a mutation in LMNA. A G608G mutation in exon 11 of LMNA is responsible for most HGPS cases, generating a truncated protein called “progerin”.
