Abstract excerpt
PAPP-A knock-out (KO) mice are a valuable model for investigating the effects of down-regulating localized insulin-like growth factor (IGF) action, which has been shown to extend lifespan and healthspan when the PAPP-A gene is globally deleted. Based on previous mouse models of brain-specific reduction in IGF signaling associated with longevity, we sought to generate brain-specific PAPP-A KO mice and determine...
