Healthy Aging Biology, Powerful Insight from the Long-Lived Naked Mole-Rat
Author(s): Frédéric Saldmann, Mélanie Viltard*, Christine Leroy, Patrice Codogno and Gérard Friedlander
The naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber, is the longest-lived rodent known with a lifespan in captivity >30 years,
10 times longer than mice, a comparable size rodent. In addition to a particularly long life, it exhibits exceptional
resistance to many age-related diseases: cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and metabolic diseases. It resists
many forms of stress: hypoxia, oxidative stress, and strikingly maintains adequate body composition, fertility, bone
quality, and mineral density throughout their long life. The naked mole-rat is a non-traditional animal model that
defies the law governing the processes of aging and mortality and provides a powerful tool for the discovery of
endogenous molecular anti-aging pathways. Over the past decades, much possible resistance and anti-aging
mechanisms have been discovered. These include exclusive physiologica.. View more»
