The transcriptome landscape of the carcinogenic treatment response in the blind mole rat: insights into cancer resistance mechanisms

Abstract Background Spalax, the blind mole rat, developed an extraordinary cancer resistance during 40 million years of evolution in a subterranean, hypoxic, thus DNA damaging, habitat. In 50 years of Spalax research, no spontaneous cancer development has been observed. The mechanisms underlying thi...
