Researchers at Washington State University (WSU) have developed genetically engineered mice with human-like telomeres, offering a new model for studying aging and disease. The findings, published in ...

The mouse model allows for multiple aging studies, Zhu said. One of his collaborators, WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine researcher Christopher Davis, studies how sleep impacts human health.

In the long run, the research can also help them pave the way for making anti-aging in humans a reality to extend lifespans.
