Scientists have discovered that certain bat species can live long lives with a low risk of cancer due to a balance between multiple copies of the tumor-suppressing p53 gene, overactive telomerase enzymes, and an efficient immune system, offering potential insights for human cancer prevention.
Researchers from the University of Rochester studied bats' unique biological defenses against cancer, including high p53 activity, telomerase expression, and immune adaptations, which may inform future human cancer treatments and understanding of longevity.
A study reveals that long-lived bats resist cancer through enhanced p53 gene activity, active telomerase enzymes, and a highly efficient immune system, offering insights that could inform human cancer prevention strategies.
