Abstract excerpt
One of the major challenges in neurodegenerative research is modeling systemic aging. Here, senescence-accelerated mice such as the multigenic SAMP8 (senescence accelerated prone 8) mice are useful as they are characterized by an early manifestation of senescence that includes a shortened lifespan and impaired brain and immune functions. While SAMP8 mice are widely used tools to address aging and...
