We tested the theory that reactive oxygen species cause aging. We augmented the natural antioxidant systems of __Caenorhabditis elegans__ with small synthetic superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetics. Treatment of wild-type worms increased their mean life-span by a mean of 44 percent, and treatment of
Co-culturing with origin-defective SV40 DNAinjected transformants, we succeeded in activating the limited growth potential of late-phase-II fibroblasts from patients with Werner's syndrome (WS cells). Residual life spans of three WS cell lines increased 2.3-5.6 fold. Co-culture with normal IMR-90 ce
The International Registry of Werner syndrome (www.wernersyndrome.org) has been providing molecular diagnosis of the Werner syndrome (WS) for the past decade. The present communication summarizes, from among 99 WS subjects, the spectrum of 50 distinct mutations discovered by our group and by others
