Science On Tap
Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare, accelerated aging disorder that affects only one in 8 million children. Because there are less than 250 people worldwide that suffer from this genetic disorder, HPGS doesn’t receive as much attention in the scientific community as other diseases. However, researching a cure for HGPS has led to some big insights about skin aging and how to best slow it down in healthy adults.
