Decoding Dental Stem Cell Aging: Mechanisms, Therapeutic Strategies, and Beyond
Dental stem cell (DSC) aging involves genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, telomere attrition, and epigenetic alterations, leading to impaired proliferation, reduced differentiation potential, and pro‐inflammatory secretory activity. These processes drive cellular senescence and compromise regenerative and immunomodulatory functions, thereby

PCR strategy for the detection of progerin expression in heart and blood. [PDF]
A Schematic overview of PCR based strategy to analyze progerin mRNA expression in human heart and the blood samples. Shown are the consensus donor splice sequence at the end of exon 11, the sequence of the normal LMNA cryptic splice site, and two common ...

New insights into applications of base editor in hereditary disorders
Abstract Hereditary disorders are a group of diseases caused by genetic mutations or chromosomal variations. Although the incidence of each genetic disorder is relatively low, patients affected by the disease generally experience a range of severe symptoms, including blindness, disability, and even premature death. In addition, the available treatments

Progerin expression in humans: Implications for natural ageing
Progerin, a truncated lamin A isoform generated by cryptic LMNA splicing, is the pathogenic driver of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) and has been implicated as a putative marker in natural ageing. Low-level progerin arises in normal tissues, particularly skin, vasculature, and blood-derived cells, where it contributes to nuclear ...

Temsirolimus Partially Rescues the Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Cellular Phenotype.
Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome (HGPS, OMIM 176670, a rare premature aging disorder that leads to death at an average age of 14.7 years due to myocardial infarction or stroke, is caused by mutations in the LMNA gene.

Organ‐Specific Dedifferentiation and Epigenetic Remodeling in In Vivo Reprogramming
Transient in vivo expression of Yamanaka factors (OSKM) enhances regenerative competence and rejuvenation across multiple tissues. We highlight mechanistic links between injury‐induced dedifferentiation and OSKM reprogramming, while emphasizing safety challenges and the need for precise spatiotemporal control to enable clinical translation.

Progerin phosphorylation in interphase is lower and less mechanosensitive than lamin-A,C in iPS-derived mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
Interphase phosphorylation of lamin-A,C depends dynamically on a cell's microenvironment, including the stiffness of extracellular matrix. However, phosphorylation dynamics is poorly understood for diseased forms such as progerin, a permanently ...

Autophagic Removal of Farnesylated Carboxy-Terminal Lamin Peptides
The mammalian nuclear lamina proteins—prelamin A- and B-type lamins—are post-translationally modified by farnesylation, endoproteolysis, and carboxymethylation at a carboxy-terminal CAAX (C, cysteine; a, aliphatic amino acid; X, any amino ...
