Title
Longevity in mice without a father.
Authors
Kawahara, Manabu; Kono, Tomohiro
Abstract
Females live longer than males in many mammalian species, including humans. It has been observed that women are at an advantage over men with regard to the lifespan; however, the reason for this sex difference in longevity is unclear. Bi-maternal mice (BM), which are produced in a 'sperm-free' manner, could provide an opportunity to analyse the longevity of animals lacking paternal genomes.
