Mutant models of prolonged life span.
Aging is an important biological process that affects all creatures. For humans, age-related diseases and the question of why we age and die also have tremendous social and philosophical impact. We can therefore expect that models to study mechanisms of the aging process will always attract much interest. Until recently, the mutant model approach to study molecular mechanisms of aging has been ...
متن کاملRapid Communication The Prolonged Life-Span of Alveolar Macrophages
To further examine the half-life of alveolar macrophages, chimeric CD 45.2 mice were generated through bone marrow transplantation of donorCD45.1 cells. Beforeadministration of donorcells, recipient mice were divided into two cohorts: the first cohort received total body irradiation; the second cohort also received irradiation— however, the thorax, head, and upper extremities were shielded with...
متن کاملMurine models of life span extension.
Mice are excellent experimental models for genetic research and are being used to investigate the genetic component of organismal aging. Several mutant mice are known to possess defects in the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1 (GH/IGF-1) neurohormonal pathway and exhibit dwarfism together with extended life span. Their phenotypes resemble those of mice subjected to caloric restriction...
متن کاملAdaptive prolonged postreproductive life span in killer whales.
Prolonged life after reproduction is difficult to explain evolutionarily unless it arises as a physiological side effect of increased longevity or it benefits related individuals (i.e., increases inclusive fitness). There is little evidence that postreproductive life spans are adaptive in nonhuman animals. By using multigenerational records for two killer whale (Orcinus orca) populations in whi...
متن کاملLife Span Development
Reports research findings specifically examining the critical initial stage of engaging older residents in community development activities and the practice of community development with older adults in multi-cultural settings. In its Global Age Friendly Cities project, the World Health Organization identifies social engagement as one indicator of an Age Friendly Community. Such engagement can ...
