Naked Mole Rats might hold the secret to finding the cure to cancer! They have two ways to inhibit neoplasm growth instead of humans one. Because of this defence against neoplasms they can keep their telomeres active, these allow stem cells to also remain active. Stem cells factor into tissue growth and repair, so they are also able to recover from crippling injury's that would leave a human incapacitated. They also live eating 30 percent less calories, this calorie reduction system actually prolongs the life of animals that maintain that lifestyle. This research is important to cancer researchers because cancer kills 23% of people. There has not been any way to cure cancer so far, but maybe with continued study of naturally immune organisms, we will be able to learn how they protect themselves.
