flag A gene from supercentenarians improves heart function in progeria models without reducing toxic protein, offering potential treatment for aging-related heart disease.

flag A longevity gene from supercentenarians, LAV-BPIFB4, shows promise in improving heart function and reducing aging signs in progeria mouse models and human cells, without lowering the toxic progerin protein. flag Instead, it helps cells resist progerin’s damage, enhancing diastolic function, reducing fibrosis, and promoting blood vessel growth. flag The findings, published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, suggest a new biological approach to treating progeria and potentially age-related heart disease, offering hope for improved survival and quality of life.
