The relationship between progerias—diseases that resemble premature aging—and the
normal aging process has been a source of debate in the aging research community. A
recent study finds that LMNA, a gene targeted for mutation in Hutchinson Gilford Progeria
Syndrome, may control the onset of aging-associated decline in normal fibroblasts.
