      Hello Dan 🙂

      The ageing process it is essentially the same in all animals because it is based on the accumulation of mutations and degeneration of the cells that form a body.
      In the case of the mice I study, the main difference is that they leave in a environment that is bug free, so no external diseases can affect them. And this is of course totally different from what happens in humans.
