Story summary

Researchers at the University of Bristol and IRCCS MultiMedica identified longevity genes that may protect heart health in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.
The findings were published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy.
In animal models, a single injection of these genes improved heart function and reduced aging signs.
The work suggests therapeutic avenues that enhance natural aging processes, potentially treating progeria and age-related heart diseases.
