Modeling premature aging syndromes with the telomerase knockout mouse.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the molecular basis of the aging process is a daunting problem, given the complex genetic and physiological changes that underlie human aging and the lack of genetically amenable primate model systems. However, analysis of mouse models exhibiting aging phenotypes reminiscent of those observed in elderly humans has enhanced our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying mammalian aging. In...
