A protein newly found in the naked mole rat may help explain its unique ability to ward off cancer.The protein is associated with a locus that is also found in humans and mice. It’s the job of that locus to encode several cancer-fighting proteins. As professor of biology Vera Gorbunova explains, the locus found in naked mole rats encodes a total of four cancer-fighting proteins, while the human and mouse version encodes only three. … – Source
