-=== Nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans) ===
+== See Also ==
-* '''Lifespan:''' 2-3 weeks
-* '''Use in Research:''' C. elegans is widely used in longevity research, especially for genetic and pharmacological studies.
-=== Fruit Fly (Drosophila melanogaster) ===
+* [[Lifespan Extending Compounds in Model Organism]]
-* '''Lifespan:''' 40-50 days
+* {{SeeWikipedia|Model organism}}
-* '''Use in Research:''' Drosophila is a key model for studying the genetic regulation of aging and age-related diseases.
-=== Mouse (Mus musculus) ===
-* '''Lifespan:''' 1-2 years
-* '''Use in Research:''' Mice are closely related to humans at the genetic level, making them particularly valuable for studying aging and age-associated diseases.
-=== Zebrafish (Danio rerio) ===
-* '''Lifespan:''' 3-5 years
-* '''Use in Research:''' Zebrafish are used to study vertebrate development and genetics, including aging-related processes.
-=== Rhesus Monkey (Macaca mulatta) ===
-* '''Lifespan:''' Up to 40 years
-* '''Use in Research:''' As primates, they are particularly relevant for translating findings into human aging.
