"Mutant Wolves of Chornobyl Show Resistance to Cancer"

TL;DR Summary
Wolves in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, exposed to high levels of radiation since the 1986 nuclear disaster, have developed an unexpected immunity to cancer. Research has shown that their immune systems have adapted similarly to cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy, with genetic changes providing protection from the disease. Scientists are now working to identify the specific mutations responsible, which could potentially aid in the fight against cancer in humans. However, ongoing safety concerns due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine have temporarily halted further research in the area.
