In addition, DBS samples from healthy uninfected villagers obtained from a Malaria survey in 2017 will also be used. To validate the previously published elution protocols and buffers, alteration…
The expression of progerin, a mutated form of lamin A protein, is caused by autosomal dominant mutation in the LMNA gene.

In order to detect the effects of progerin in the cells’ morphology, there are several techni…
