A Rare Condition That Is Teaching Science About the Aging Process
Most people associate aging with later stages of life, but Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) causes children to experience features of accelerated aging from a very young age. Although extremely rare, the condition has become an important focus for researchers because it offers valuable insights into how our cells age and how genetic changes affect the body.
