Cell phones might cause cancer. Then again, maybe not. Figuring out which is the case begins with rats. Scientists trying to answer the question will dose the little critters with radiation and look ...

Until a few weeks ago, naked mole rats were hailed as a medical miracle, of sorts—no one had ever found cancer in the big-toothed, small-bodied rodents. It was hoped that if we could figure out why, ...

The naked mole-rat is absolutely nobody's idea of a cute animal. With its absence of hair, tubular body and smushed face, its two buck teeth and its wrinkled, translucent skin, the poor creature looks ...

Newswise — Mice and rats have long since been a standard animal model for cancer research, mainly due to their short lifespan of four years on average and high incidence of cancer. Naked mole rats ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract An initiation/promotion bioassay for chemical carcinogens and tumor promoters has been developed in rat liver using presumed preneoplastic ...

Blind mole-rats, like their relatives the impervious naked mole-rat, live relatively long lives—about 21 years—yet never develop cancer. Although previous research found a genetic basis for the naked ...

Accurate classification of metastatic brain tumors using a novel microRNA-based test. Background: LTX-315 (Oncopore) is a chemically designed cationic nonapeptide derived from a natural host defensive ...

Building on their earlier work, Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered that an apparently nontoxic cellular "energy blocker" can eradicate large liver tumors grown in rats. Six months to ...

Naked mole rats are renowned for their ability to live cancer-free, even when researchers try to induce the disease artificially. Not anymore. For the first time on record, researchers have diagnosed ...

Radiation from cell phones doesn't appear to cause cancer in rats, according to a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The research team exposed rats to the ...
