Overactive MicroRNAs Block Fat Cell Development in Progeria
BUFFALO, NY — October 7, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on August 27, 2025, titled, “Deregulated miR-145 and miR-27b in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: implications for adipogenesis.” In this study, led by first author Felix Quirin Fenzl and corresponding author Karima Djabali from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), researchers identified that miR-145-5p and miR-27b-3p interfere with the formation of fat cells in children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare and fatal premature aging disorder. Their findings help…
