The study of the molecular basis of the aging process and the development of anti-aging therapies has become an emerging area of research in recent years.
Available Models of Common Age-Related Diseases
· Bone disease. For example, age-related bone loss, and age-related osteoporosis models.
· Cardiovascular diseases. For example, the primary hypertension animal model, myocardial infarction animal model, heart failure animal model, etc.
· Aging lung.
· Neurodegenerative disease. For example, models of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
· Multi-morbidity and frailty. For example, some chronic disease models include arthritis, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke. There are also frailty aging animal models.
