Aging Research Using Mouse Models
Open accessAbstract
Despite the dramatic increase in human lifespan over the past century, there remains pronounced variability in “health‐span,” or the period of time in which one is generally healthy and free of disease. Much of the variability in health‐span and lifespan is thought to be genetic in origin. Understanding the genetic mechanisms of aging and identifying ways to boost longevity is a primary goal in aging research. Here, we describe a pipeline of phenotypic assays for assessing mouse models of aging. This pipeline includes behavior/cognition testing, body composition analysis, and tests of kidney function, hematopoiesis, and immune function, as well as physical parameters. We also describe study design methods for assessing lifespan and health‐span, and other important considerations when conducting aging research in the laboratory mouse. The tools and assays provided can assist researchers with understanding the correlative relationships between age‐associated phenotypes and, ultimately, the role of specific genes in the aging process. © 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In the citing paper
“As mice age, they undergo characteristic physical and physiological changes, including alopecia, hair greying, kyphosis, decreased body weight, motion in dark phase, and a reduced respiratory exchange ratio (RER) (Ackert-Bicknell et al., 2015; Harkema et al., 2016; Houtkooper et al., 2011; Koks et al., 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
