Potential new therapy for progeria

Aging is a complex and natural process that affects all living organisms. As people age, normal biological processes are affecting, resulting in a decline in various organs and age-related conditions. Though aging is normal, some children affected by a disease called Progeria may age way faster than others.

Cancer drug shows promise in treating metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a group of health problems characterized by the presence of elevated blood pressure, increased levels of triglycerides, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and obesity. If it’s left untreated, it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Usually, treating metabolic syndrome involves targeting individual risk factors and modifying lifestyle practices.
