Scientists successfully reverse premature aging
Werner Syndrome, also known as Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that causes signs of premature ageing in children and young adults. Patients with progeroid disorders often have symptoms and pathologies that are linked to aging. These include osteoporosis and cataracts.
The causes of this aging are unknown. It is characterized as a gradual loss in nuclear architecture, and a tissue-specific genetic programme. Scientists discovered that preventing the loss of nuclear architecture could be a new treatment for these syndromes.
