Scientists study bowhead whales' genes to unlock cancer resistance secrets for human treatments.
Scientists are studying the bowhead whale, known for living over 200 years and rarely getting cancer, to uncover genetic adaptations that may protect against the disease.
Despite their large size and long lives—factors usually linked to higher cancer risk—these Arctic whales show remarkable resistance, suggesting unique DNA repair or tumor-suppressing mechanisms.
Researchers are analyzing their genome to identify protective biological pathways that could inform new human cancer therapies.
The work is in early stages but holds promise for advancing cancer prevention and treatment.
