Resumen de 'Gloop' the secret to naked mole rats' cancer defiance
Vera Gorbunova at the University of Rochester in New York and colleagues have found that the extracellular matrix in naked mole rats-the gloop that supports tissues-is rich in a substance that stops cancers growing. The magic ingredient is a polysaccharide called hyaluronan, which acts as a lubricant in the body. It is present in a unique, heavyweight form in naked mole rats known as high-molecular mass hyalurorian.
