Researchers at the Salk Institute and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia say they have discovered that a DNA segment that jumps around the human genome plays a ...

“In sum, we have defined what a premature aging disease is and developed tools to allow diagnostics of patients and disease population.” “In this study, we have utilized phenome explorations to define ...

A stretch of DNA that hops around the human genome plays a role in premature aging disorders, scientists have discovered. In people with early aging, or progeria, RNA encoded by this mobile DNA builds ...

“[...] this study addresses a critical gap by providing new insights into the role of telomere attrition across different progeroid conditions.” “[…] this ...

UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a new form of progeria, a rare premature-aging syndrome, in a man from Malaysia and traced its cause to a novel gene mutation. The finding, reported in the ...

A stretch of DNA that hops around the human genome plays a role in premature aging disorders, scientists at the Salk Institute and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi ...

The researchers say their findings point to a new avenue for the possible treatment of premature aging and may also be relevant to other aging-associated pathologies. Progeroid syndromes, such as ...
