Using new technology, researchers from Texas found that they could reverse many markers of aging in cells from children with progeria, a rare genetic disease that causes rapid aging and early death.

Genetic test “Children with progeria occur out of blue. There’s no family history, no warning, no reason to think that this might be getting ready to happen,” said Dr Francis Collins, the scientist ...

Study used cell lines obtained from the Progeria Research Foundation to evaluate Telomir-1's effects on key drivers of accelerated aging There are an estimated 400-500 known cases worldwide, including ...

Telomir-1 increased survival in a dose-dependent manner, both under basal conditions and even under stress conditions induced by copper and iron—two metal ions known to accelerate aging by generating ...

In the spring of 2005, families affected by progeria welcomed the news from two studies that uncovered new information about this rare, devastating condition that causes premature aging in children.

(Gray News) – The longest-living survivor of progeria has died at the age of 28. In a Facebook post, the Progeria Research Foundation announced that Sammy Basso passed away Saturday. “Sammy was the ...
