It notes that the WRN protein is mutated in patients with Werner, a genetic disease characterized by accelerated aging syndrome.
The prestigious journal Science published a study conducted by the Extraordinary Professor of Developmental Biology of the UCAM, Juan Carlos Izpisua, along with an international team of researchers from the Salk Institute in California and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, focused on the aging.
As has also spread EFE.
He has also participated in the project contracted postdoctoral Murcia institution Soligalla Rupa Devi.
The magazine Sciencie 'is the second by importance in their area of ​​expertise (2/55' Multidisciplinary Sciencies') and has a high impact factor (31'47. The cited and read in the scientific field).
