The Animal Core will continue to play a central role in the Nathan Shock Aging Center at the UTHSCSA. Its principal aim is to provide Center Investigators with a spectrum of uniformly maintained, specific-pathogen-free mouse models for the study of aging. It will breed, maintain, and monitor aging colonies of new as well as established rodent models. The Core will determine the longevity of these models, measure life-history and age-sensitive traits, including body weight, body composition, food intake, and morbidity. The Core will distribute animals to Center members for basic research on aging. The Core will continue to be investigator-driven: namely, all models will either 1) be supported by grants or 2) will be selected from those proposed by Center investigators to be the most likely to give insight into fundamental mechanisms of aging and most promising for independent funding.

动物核心将继续在UTHSCSA的内森冲击老化中心发挥核心作用。它的主要目的是为中心研究人员提供一系列均匀维护的，特异性的无病因的小鼠模型，以进行衰老。它将繁殖，维护和监测新的和已建立的啮齿动物模型的衰老菌落。核心将确定这些模型的寿命，测量生活历史和年龄敏感的特征，包括体重，身体成分，食物摄入量和发病率。核心将向中心成员分发动物以进行衰老的基础研究。核心将继续以调查员为驱动：即，所有模型都将由赠款支持或2）从这些模型中选择。 中心调查人员建议最有可能深入了解衰老的基本机制和最有前途的独立资金。
