Inflammation is a hallmark of aging and accelerated aging syndromes such as Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). In this study, we present evidence of increased expression of the components of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in HGPS skin ...

Generating health technology assessment evidence for rare diseases [PDF]
Objectives: Rare diseases are often heterogeneous in their progression and response to treatment, with only a small population for study. This provides challenges for evidence generation to support HTA, so novel research methods are required.

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Progeria, a model for accelerated aging exhibited by HIV patients? [PDF]
International audienceTo confirm, among HIV1-infected patients, data from in vitro studies showing that antiretroviral therapies (ART) induce an accelerated aging through the same mechanism than genetic laminopathies (progeria) and «physiological » aging,

Gut Microbiota‐Linked Benefits of Low‐Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Rejuvenate the Ageing Muscle
ABSTRACT Background Ageing is an inevitable biological process that contributes to increased prevalence of age‐associated diseases, including sarcopenia, defined by progressive loss of muscle mass, functional decline and a heightened risk of injury. Developing effective interventions remains a critical clinical priority.

A multiparametric anti-aging CRISPR screen uncovers a role for BAF in protein synthesis regulation
Progeria syndromes are very rare, incurable premature aging conditions recapitulating most aging features. Here, we report a whole genome, multiparametric CRISPR screen, identifying 43 genes that can rescue multiple cellular phenotypes associated with ...

Conservatively managed extradural haematoma in a child with progeria
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by premature ageing. We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with HGPS who presented with an extradural haematoma following head injury.

Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome: A Therapeutic Approach via Adenoviral Delivery of CRISPR/cas Genome Editing System [PDF]
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare human genetic disease caused by mutations in the LMNA gene. LMNA codes for structural components of the nuclear lamina. Alterations of nuclear lamina lead to a very variable class of diseases known as
