The life history of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) points to this species as a premiere nonhuman primate aging model. In order to take advantage of these features, we require an expanded and refined understanding of aging in this species. The papers in this special issue move this field forward substantially by providing exciting new findings about the aging of the common marmoset and the potential this species offers for revealing aging's secrets and improving the lives of aging humans.
普通狨猴(Callithrix jacchus)的生活史表明,它是一种首要的非人类灵长类动物衰老模型。为了利用这些特点,我们需要更深入地了解这种物种的衰老过程。本期特刊中的论文通过提供有关普通狨猴衰老的令人兴奋的新发现,以及该物种揭示衰老秘密和改善衰老人类生活的潜力,大大推动了该领域的发展。
