Abstract
One of the major challenges currently facing health care providers is an ageing population that is spending more time in ill-health. Many ageing individuals have multiple and complex needs which affect the ability to treat them effectively, which also has a significant impact on their own independence and quality of life. There are many aspects of testing interventions to improve health in old age in pre-clinical models; from breeding strategies to measurements of outcomes. Here we provide a brief overview of the major considerations to take into account in such studies and the limitations or challenges we face in these studies.
期刊介绍：
Drug Discovery Today: Disease Models discusses the non-human experimental models through which inference is drawn regarding the molecular aetiology and pathogenesis of human disease. It provides critical analysis and evaluation of which models can genuinely inform the research community about the direct process of human disease, those which may have value in basic toxicology, and those which are simply designed for effective expression and raw characterisation.
