#PLOSBiology: Single-cell transcriptomics of the naked mole-rat reveals unexpected features of mammalian ... dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…
Our article describing the immune system of the long-lived and cancer-resistant naked mole-rat published @PLOSBiology today. A brief(ish) thread 👇 The naked mole-rat is long-lived (~30y!) and doesn't seem to get cancer very often. But almost nothing is known about its immune system.
