And as the animals aged, their muscles remained strong, as vigorous as if they belonged to far younger mice. In the coming months, Sweeney plans to inject IGF-1 into dogs to learn more about how the added growth factor would operate in a larger, mammalian body that more closely resembles that of humans...

The board also wanted to give to organizations that had a proven track record but that didn't receive as much publicity and funds as some of the more high-profile ones...
