In vivo Pooled Screening: A Scalable Tool to Study the Complexity of Aging and Age-Related Disease

Biological aging, and the diseases of aging, occur in a complex in vivo environment, driven by multiple interacting processes. A convergence of recently developed technologies has enabled in vivo pooled screening: direct administration of a library of different perturbations to a living animal, with...
