Single-cell analysis of the progeria arterial wall reveals progerin-induced progressive, cell type-specific dysfunction and somatic mutation accumulation.
Detailed mapping of progeria's arterial damage reveals aging patterns that could help researchers understand how blood vessels age normally.
First single-cell atlas of HGPS arterial disease demonstrating cell-type-specific progerin-induced dysfunction and somatic mutation accumulation in the aortic wall; reveals novel aging niche programs relevant to normal vascular aging. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
