So proud of this work demonstrating DNA base editing treatment for #progeria in human cells & mouse model. Amazing collaborative team @davidrliu @NIHDirector @LukeKoblan & Mike Erdos at NIH and my @VUMCResearch team @lindsaymdavison & Sean Doherty rdcu.be/cc90j


Today we report the use of base editing in patient-derived cells and in mice to correct the most common cause of progeria, the devastating rapid aging disease. Progeria is typically caused by a dominant negative C•G-to-T•A point mutation in LMNA. 1/11 drive.google.com/file/d/1oH4W0z…
