Wolves which are found inside and near the human-free Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed cancer-resilient genomes and that could help humans fight cancer in the future, according to a study by Cara Love, an evolutionary biologist and ecotoxicologist in Shane Campbell-Staton’s lab at Princeton University.
The wolves are exposed to cancer-causing radiation as they roam the wastelands of the abandoned city - with researchers finding part of their genetic information seems resilient to increased risk of the disease.
Cancer-resistant genomes that mutant wolves, who wander the human-free Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, have created may hold the answer to assisting people in combating the deadly disease.The highest.
