Abstract

Ageing is a process that gradually increases the organism's vulnerability to death. It affects different biological pathways, and the underlying cellular mechanisms are complex. In view of the growing disease burden of ageing populations, increasing efforts are being invested in understanding the pathways and mechanisms of ageing. We review some mouse models commonly used in studies on ageing, highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the different strategies, and discuss their relevance to disease susceptibility. In addition to addressing the genetics and phenotypic analysis of mice, we discuss examples of models of delayed or accelerated ageing and their modulation by caloric restriction.

  • Aging biology differs between rodents and humans, and findings from a mouse model may not fully translate to human liver.

    “aging biology differs between rodents and humans, and findings from a mouse model may not fully translate to human liver [5,51,52].”

    From Fluorescence-Guided Spatial Mapping of p21-Expressing Senescent Cells in Aged Liver at Single-Cell Resolution (2026) · cites this paper as [52]

    The Introduction discusses similarities and differences between mouse and human ageing, and the Summary cautions that mice may not be ideal models of ageing. Those passages support the general concern about translation, but the paper does not establish that findings from a mouse model may fail to translate specifically to human liver. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
