Zebrafish as a genetic model in biological and behavioral gerontology: where development meets aging in vertebrates--a mini-review.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging in vertebrates is a major challenge of modern biology and biomedical science. This is due, in part, to the complexity of the aging process and its multifactorial nature, the paucity of animal models that lend themselves to unbiased high-throughput screening for aging phenotypes, and the difficulty of predicting such phenotypes at an early age. We suggest that the...
