"Chernobyl's Wolves Develop Anti-Cancer Traits"

Wolves living in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed genetic mutations that increase their odds of surviving cancer, likely due to their exposure to radiation. Research has shown that the wolves have altered immune systems and parts of their genome have developed resilience to cancer. This discovery could have implications for human health, potentially leading to the identification of protective mutations that increase people’s odds of surviving cancer.
