The Aging Animal and Longevity Assessment Core has played a key role in many of the important discoveries supported by Shock Center Cores, including the finding of drugs that extend mouse lifespan, tests of the oxidative stress theory of aging, and the discovery that the life-extending effect of calorie restriction may not be universal. By providing staff trained in specialized care of aging animals, reliable and reproducible determinations of longevity, and some of the longest lived mice at any institution,, this Core will continue to serve as an important resource to aging investigators both locally and nationally.
