	Methuselah Mouse Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Methuselah Mouse Prize or Mprize is a growing $3.5 million prize started in 2003 to accelerate research into slowing and eventually reversing cellular aging and breakdown in humans.
		The prize is named after Methuselah, a patriarch in the Bible said to have reached 969 years of age.
		For comparison: the mouse strain most often used for studies of lifespan, called "C57Bl/6", has a normal life-span of about 3 years, while mice whose grandparents have been caught in the wild are unharmed by inbreeding and live nearly 4 years on average.

	Scientists target ageing
		Dr de Grey has named the project the Methuselah Mouse contest after the biblical character who lived for 969 years.
		The researchers will have to keep their mice alive for five years at first, but the eventual aim is to increase that to nine years or more.
		David Gobel, the businessman working with Dr de Grey on the contest, said they had secured backing worth tens of thousands of dollars and were attracting keen interest from pharmaceutical companies and other big corporate backers.

		Research funding will be awarded periodically to contestants that are able to extend the life of mice beyond what has been achieved.
		The initial target is to extend the life of mice to 5 years, but eventually scientists hope to stretch it to 9 years, the equivalent of 400 human years.

	The Multiverse According to Ben: The Seven Pillars of Senescence
		As part of his effort to energize the biology research community about SENS, de Grey has launched a contest called the “Methuselah mouse prize” – a prize that yields money to the researcher that produces the longest-lived mouse of species mus musculus.
		There is a complicated prize structure, wherein each research who produces the longest-lived mouse ever or the best-ever mouse-lifespan rejuvenation therapy receives a bit of money each week until the his record is broken.
		His idea is that, during the next decade or so, it should be possible to come pretty close to defeating senescence within mice – if the research community puts enough focus on the area.

		The test is to see if through whatever means science can extend the length of a lab rats life beyond 4.9 years (which I believe is the record, something like 150 human years to a mouse).

		There have been research in how we could prolong our life span, and one thing is that our cells lose information in the DNA each time they divide, and eventually the DNA is so corrupt it can’t be divided into a functioning cell anymore.
