Whether it's the discovery of the unique cancer - fighting
gene of the naked mole rat or the creation of a mouse model of melanoma, we see progress as, well, progress.

rats are extreme in many aspects
of their biology, we predicted that we would see similar molecular adaptations in the HAS2
gene in other
mole -
rats and subterranean mammals, yet they remain unique even among other
mole -
rats within the family.»
