Through Oct4 expression is only transiently activated for 2 weeks in 50% aortic SMCs (by day 5 delivery) in progeria mice, but with an amazing long-lasting benefits on SMC vitality, arterial stiffness, progerin, multi-organ ( kidney, spleen, muscle, lung, and skin) senescence transcriptional profile, lifespan w/o apparent dysplasia
