If only I were a mouse. With all the research papers I've seen on HN over the years, I'm pretty sure I could live to be 200.
PS: strains means stable inbred clone producing animals.
That make them far more resistant to damaging pharma (lot’s of cell repair)
The downside is they all die of cancer (telomere length is a stop to cell replication)
Because of their speed of reproduction, their lack of reusability, and the fact that in order to cure diseases you first have to inflict them, lab mice are basically in a constant state of massacre.
They're not even livestock. They're more on the tier of stationery.
