Novel structure of a human membrane enzyme sheds light on molecular mechanisms of rare ageing disorders and metabolic syndromes

Laminopathies are a group of rare genetic disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in the building and maintenance of the nuclei of cells. Severe laminopathies such as the premature ageing syndrome pregeria leads to death in the teens from heart disease and other symtoms…
