Left: Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome cell with signs of premature aging. This cell shows less histone protein (green), which normally helps maintain the cell’s DNA integrity and function. Right: The cell shows less signs of aging when LINE-1 RNA is reduced, and there is more histone protein present.
