瞎鼹鼠可能看不见,但是它们却给征服癌症指明了方向。鼹鼠从不得癌症,这使得它们比大多数啮齿类动物多存活7倍的时间。用犹大山地盲鼹鼠和戈兰高地盲鼹鼠身上的细胞进行的实验表明,这些动物有一种独特的杀死过快增殖细胞的能力。纽约罗切斯特大学的维拉.高布诺瓦带领的一个研究小组使用生长液培养出类似皮肤细胞的鼹鼠纤维母细胞,并发现,一旦这种细胞增殖到一定程度,鼹鼠就会分泌一种自杀性物 The moles may not be visible, but they point the way to conquering cancer. Muskrat has no chance of cancer, which makes them survive 7 times longer than most rodents. Experiments with cells from blind juveniles in the Judas mountains and Golan Heights showed that these animals had a unique ability to kill hyperproliferative cells. A team led by Vera Gaobunova at the University of Rochester in New York used growth fluids to grow hamster fibroblasts that resemble skin cells and found that if the cells proliferate to some extent, the moles secrete a kind of Suicide
