Cells from children with progeria studied.
Progeria is a rare condition marked by rapid aging.
telomeres were shorter in children with progeria
Used RNA therapeutics to create telomerase that lengthens telomeres.
Single exposure had a substantial physiologically relevant and meaningful effect on the lifespan and function of the cells.
Improved ability to divide and reduced inflammatory proteins.
