Subject:

Aging and cellular senescence in long-lived, hypoxia-tolerant and cancer-resistant subterranean rodent, Spalax


1 Anti-inflammatory network in senescent cells and aging tissues of Spalax: role of NF-kB pathway;

2 Mechanisms of suppression of malignant behavior of cancer cells under the Influence of paracrine factors of Spalax senescent cells;

3 Mechanisms of skeletal muscle aging and regeneration in Spalax. How does Spalax prevent sarcopenia and maintain high mobility throughout life?
