This project investigates the unique physiological adaptations of the African naked mole-rat, focusing on gene variants that contribute to its cold-blooded nature, acid insensitivity, and long lifespan. By using advanced genetic techniques, the research aims to uncover how these adaptations evolved and their implicatio…
The African naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is an unusual rodent species that has evolved physiological strategies to adapt to an extreme ecological niche.
It is the only poikilothermic mammal (cold-blooded), has an extraordinarily long life span for its small size (in excess of 30 years) and lives in large colonies organized like those of termites (eusocial).
We have shown that naked mole-rats lack physiological attributes thought essential and protective for most other animal species. F…
