Cellular stress responses of long-lived and cancer-resistant naked mole-rats

Objectives: Some organisms are long-lived and naturally resistant to cancer such as naked mole-rats (NMRs). Studies have shown that these animals can better tolerate stress due to mechanisms, such as upregulation of antioxidant pathways and improved proteostasis. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the tolerance against stress and the cellular mechanisms related to the stress response in NMR cells comparative to mouse cells.
