"Chernobyl's Mutant Wolves: Developing Cancer-Resilient Abilities"

Mutant wolves in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed cancer-resilient genomes due to chronic exposure to radiation, offering potential insights for human cancer treatment. Evolutionary biologist Cara Love and her team studied the wolves' immune systems and identified specific resilient regions in their genome. The research could provide valuable information on gene mutations and cancer resilience in humans. Additionally, descendants of pets in the area, such as Chernobyl dogs, may also possess similar cancer resilience. However, further research has been hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
