Abstract
Background. Naked mole rats (NMR) are unusually long-lived and unusually resistant to aging and spontaneous cancer development. NMR live colonially in underground tunnel systems. They are under no direct selection to develop and maintain adaptations against UV-induced tissue damage. Here we test NMR’s resistance to UV-induced DNA damage and skin cancer, and we probe for potential anti-cancer mechanisms.
