Ghrelin delays premature aging in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome

2023-05-02

Abstract excerpt

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and fatal genetic condition arising from a single nucleotide alteration in the LMNA gene, which leads to the production of a defective lamin A protein known as progerin.
