Give me a quick overview of your experiment? What is going to happen with this mouse?
Daniel Wuttke: We have aged mice (females and males) of the C57Bl/6 strain which will undergo a treatment of a combination of drugs that were shown to robustly extend the lifespan. One group of mice will receive placebo, while the other group will undergo the combined drug treatment. During the time of the experiment we will take measures of biomarkers of aging to assess the effect of the drugs. We hope that the drugs will slow down the aging process in this mice effectively and extend their lifespan… and healthspan!
