Mice are the most commonly used mammalian research model with hundreds of established inbred, outbred, and transgenic strains. They are common and share a high degree of homology with humans. The mouse genome has been sequenced, and many mouse genes have human homologues.
In addition to being small, relatively inexpensive, and easily maintained, several generations of mice can be observed in a relatively short period of time as mice reproduce very quickly. Several experiments are conductress with these little animals throughout the world, helping science make a great advancement.
Scientists at Harvard have not only slowed down aging in mice before, but haven been able to completely reverse it.
This indicates a great advancement in science! Since we share a lot of common genes with mice, this procedure might be soon used in humans and hence it will be able to reserve our age!
