Aging and Resiliency in Mice: Optimizing Assessment Protocols and Testing Interventions
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE The ability of an organism to adequately respond to physical challenges or stress, termed resilience, may reflect its biological age before there is evidence of chronic disease or other late-life conditions. Herein, we propose to develop standardized physical challenges of resilience for laboratory mice, determine the degree to which they predict future health and longevity, and assess the extent to which they respond to innovative therapies that have been shown to delay aspects of aging.
