Hypofunctional TrkA Accounts for the Absence of Pain Sensitization in the African Naked Mole-Rat
Cell Reports, 2016 The naked mole-rat is a subterranean rodent lacking several pain behaviors found in humans, rats, and mice. For example, nerve growth factor (NGF), an important mediator of pain sensitization, fails to produce thermal hyperalgesia in naked mole-rats. The

Tumour resistance in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from naked mole-rats
Nature Communications, 2016 The naked mole-rat exhibits an exceptional resistance to cancer. Here, the authors show that induced pluripotent stem cells derived from the naked mole-rat lack teratoma-forming tumorigenicity due to a naked mole-rat-specific ARF-dependent tumour ...

HYBRIDIZATION AND SPECIATION IN FOSSORIAL MOLE RATS [PDF]
Evolution, 1976 Hybrid zones between parapatric chromosomal species are of prime evolutionary significance as natural testing grounds for assessing the degree of reproductive isolation between parental species. Major problems of evolutionary dynamics and of species formation may be resolved in hybrid zones.

Translation of Cellular Senescence to Novel Therapeutics: Insights From Alternative Tools and Models
Frontiers in Aging, 2022 Increasing chronological age is the greatest risk factor for human diseases. Cellular senescence (CS), which is characterized by permanent cell-cycle arrest, has recently emerged as a fundamental mechanism in developing aging-related pathologies.
