Genetic correction of Werner syndrome gene reveals impaired pro‐angiogenic function and HGF insufficiency in mesenchymal stem cells
22 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract WRN mutation causes a premature aging disease called Werner syndrome (WS). However, the mechanism by which WRN loss leads to progeroid features evident with impaired tissue repair and regeneration remains unclear. To determine this mechanism, we performed gene editing in reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from WS fibroblasts. Gene correction restored the expression of WRN. WRN+/+...
