Blind mole rats can prevent age-related chronic inflammation

They have a natural mechanism against cellular senescence and ageing

01-Nov-2019

Key points from article :

Blind mole rats are not affected by presence of senescent cells.

Theirs do not secrete potent mix of inflammatory and damaging molecules or SASP.

High repair capacity, low damage in DNA fibroblasts exhibited by Spalax.

These prevent senescent cells to amass DNA damage needed for SASP activation.

Natural mechanism to ease inflammatory response during cell senescence and ageing.

This fights age-related chronic inflammation supporting healthy aging and longevity.
