Exciting research milestones in treatment evaluation and life extension!
Our research team has discovered a vital new way to measure progerin, the toxic protein that causes Progeria. With this discovery, scientists also found that the long-term benefit of lonafarnib for children with Progeria is greater than we thought.
What do these two findings mean for the Progeria community?
