MicroRNA 132-3p Is Upregulated in Laron Syndrome Patients and Controls Longevity Gene Expression

The growth hormone (GH)–insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) endocrine axis is a central player in normal growth and metabolism as well as in a number of pathologies, including cancer. The GH–IGF1 hormonal system, in addition, has emerged as a major determinant of lifespan and healthspan. Laron syndr...
