AGED RODENT TISSUE BANK

国家老龄化研究所（NIA）通过合同支持几个老年大鼠和小鼠群体用于老龄化研究。有些研究者不需要活的动物，而只是简单地从动物身上收集特定的组织进行实验。本项目的目的是提供一个新鲜冷冻组织的来源，适用于多种实验方案，从NIA的老年大鼠和小鼠的殖民地。这将允许多个研究者使用来自相同动物的不同组织，并将降低这些研究者的组织成本。

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports through contracts several colonies of aged rats and mice for use in research on aging. Some investigators do not need live animals, but simp Iy collect specific tissue from the animals for their experiments. The purpose of this project is to provide a source of fresh-frozen tissue, suitable for multiple experimental protocols, from the NIA colonies of aged rats and mice. This will allow multiple investigators to make use of different tissues from the same animals, and will lower the cost of tissue for those investigators.
