Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Posttranslational Modifications of Lamin A/C and Cardiac Aging: A Short Review
Cardiac aging is considered as natural and age-related changes in the heart, which can lead to a decline in heart function. Cardiac aging increases the risk of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and other cardiovascular complications.

Management of cataract in Werner syndrome
Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare progressive disorder. It is characterized by the appearance of unusually accelerated aging (progeria) including bilateral senile cataract. Here, we report a successful management of hypermature cataract in WS.

Current advances and future prospects of cell reprogramming in progeroid syndromes
Cell reprogramming consists in the reverse process to cell differentiation, making cells lose their identity and age-related characteristics and granting an increased potential for proliferation and redifferentiation on different lineages.

Genetic mutations are becoming more deleterious day by day. Mutations of Genes named FBN1, AKT1, LMNA result specific protein malfunction that in turn commonly cause Marfan syndrome, Proteus syndrome, and Progeria, respectively.

Resumen La progeria o síndrome de Hutchinson-Gilford esun síndrome poco frecuente. Consiste en la aparición de signos de envejecimiento en niños entre su primer y segundo año de vida. La mayoría de los casos de progeria son esporádicos, lo cual plantea la posibilidad de un patrón de herencia autosómico dominante por mutación de novo.

Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by progerin, a mutant lamin A variant. HGPS patients display accelerated aging and die prematurely, typically from atherosclerosis complications. Recently, we demonstrated that

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and devastating genetic disorder characterized by premature aging. This condition is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in the LMNA gene, which leads to the production of the defective protein ...
