科学家研究弓头鲸的基因 以解开抗癌秘密 供人类治疗 Scientists study bowhead whales' genes to unlock cancer resistance secrets for human treatments.

科学家们正在研究弓头鲸, 以生活在200年以上, 很少得癌症而闻名, 以发现基因适应 来防止疾病。 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. 这些北极鲸鱼尽管体积大,寿命长,通常与癌症风险较高有关,但表现出很强的抵抗力,表明它们有独特的DNA修复或肿瘤抑制机制。 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. 研究人员正在分析他们的基因组,以确定保护性生物途径,为新的人类癌症疗法提供参考。 Researchers are analyzing their genome to identify protective biological pathways that could inform new human cancer therapies. 这项工作尚处于早期阶段,但有望推进癌症的预防和治疗。 The work is in early stages but holds promise for advancing cancer prevention and treatment.
