Story summary

Professor Chuanmao Zhang's team shows that activating lysosome biogenesis alleviates cellular senescence in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by defective progerin that accelerates aging.
The study, published in Science China Life Sciences, shows that boosting lysosome function removes progerin and reduces aging-related issues.
Two methods to stimulate lysosome biogenesis yielded improved progerin clearance and fewer senescence symptoms.
