Major Mouse Testing Program (MMTP)
The Lifeboat Foundation is now supporting the Major Mouse Testing
Program (MMTP) at http://majormouse.org
This is an initiative intended to speed up testing and replication of
promising potential treatments for aging in mice. Their latest task is
to test a new class of compounds, Senolytics, on their ability to extend
healthy lifespan by clearing out dysfunctional cells in the body.
