Popis: Nothobranchius furzeri is a killifish from southeast Africa with an extremely short lifespan. Aging of this fish shows significant similarities to the aging process in mammals including humans. N. furzeri is thus an attractive model organism for scientists in the field of aging research. Here, we present some key aspects of the biology of the killifish and discuss how this fish can help to better understand aging and aging-related diseases.
