Researchers discovered that bowhead whales achieve extraordinary longevity and cancer resistance through highly efficient and ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret ...

Naked mole-rats are well known for both their wrinkly appearance and for their unexpectedly long lives. The source of this extended lifespan has been under scrutiny for decades. While many rodents are ...

Operators are excited about a device that avoids transapical access, a limitation of other systems, says Gilbert Tang.

Is the key to living over 200 hidden in the icy sea of the Arctic? The bowhead whale, an 80,000-kilogram insulating blubber ...

Naked mole rats live for up to 37 years – far longer than other rodents their size. What is the secret of their longevity? Among other factors, it could be down to a variant of an immune protein that ...

Four subtle tweaks to an enzyme could help explain why naked mole rats can live for nearly 30 years, an unusually long lifespan for creatures their size. In a study 1, published in Science today, ...

A newly discovered protein from Earth's toughest animal is inspiring breakthrough therapies for cancer and cardiovascular ...

A naturally occurring gene called Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), which turns off after birth in humans, can actually make new, functioning heart cells and help the heart repair itself from injury, including a ...
