A Mouse Model of Accelerated Liver Aging Caused by a Defect in DNA Repair
27 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The liver changes with age, leading to an impaired ability to respond to hepatic insults and increased incidence of liver disease in the elderly. Therefore, there is critical need for rapid model systems to study aging-related liver changes. One potential opportunity is murine models of human progerias or diseases of accelerated aging. Ercc1(-/Δ) mice model a rare human progeroid syndrome caused by...
