    Abstract:

    Aging is a process of gradual functional deterioration at the cellular and organismal level. Progeroid syndromes represent a group of rare genetic disorders with features of premature aging. Werner syndrome (WS) and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) are two of the best characterized human progeroid syndromes. The study of premature aging is helpful to understand the physiological processes of human aging and is useful for the prevention and treatment of aging-related diseases. This review focuses on the mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions of these two progeroid diseases.
