Dietary magnesium supplementation improves lifespan in a mouse model of progeria

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020
Aging is associated with redox imbalance according to the redox theory of aging. Consistently, a mouse model of premature aging (LmnaG609G/+) showed an increased level of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a reduced basal antioxidant ...

First Generation Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) for the Treatment of Progeria

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Hutchinson‐Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene, leading to the production of progerin, an aberrant and toxic form of lamin A. Due to its hydrophobic nature, progerin accumulates at the nuclear

The farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI) lonafarnib improves nuclear morphology in ZMPSTE24-deficient fibroblasts from patients with the progeroid disorder MAD-B

open access: yesNucleus, 2023
Several related progeroid disorders are caused by defective post-translational processing of prelamin A, the precursor of the nuclear scaffold protein lamin A, encoded by LMNA.

Progeria in twins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Genetics, 1974
A pair of male monozygotic twins, both affected by progeria is described. The concordance in this manifestation suggests a genetic aetiology and other evidence indicates the implication of autosomal recessive factors; the chromosomes of these patients show no detectable abnormalities.

iPSC-Derived Endothelial Cells Affect Vascular Function in a Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Model of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare disorder caused by a point mutation in the Lamin A gene that produces the protein progerin. Progerin toxicity leads to accelerated aging and death from cardiovascular disease.
