Rare progerin-expressing preadipocytes and adipocytes contribute to tissue depletion over time
Abstract Accumulation of progerin is believed to underlie the pathophysiology of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a disease characterized by clinical features suggestive of premature aging, including loss of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT). Although progerin has been found in cells and...
