Goeey secret of naked mole rat's cancer resistance revealed The p16 gene provides naked mole rats with an early contact inhibition mechanism that causes cells to stop dividing at much lower densities, compared with mouse cells. Their cells secrete a very high molecular mass form of a molecule called hyaluronan. |
