A Homely Rodent May Hold Cancer-Fighting Clues - NYTimes.com

Another day, another breakthrough in cancer research:.  Interesting how the study of other organisms has resulted in so many medical findings.
A Homely Rodent May Hold Cancer-Fighting Clues - NYTimes.com:  Naked Mole Rats produce a compound, called hyaluronan,  that appears to prevent them from getting cancer.
Could this be the cancer cure we've been looking for?  I hope so!
If nothing else, it will possibly guide studies into other methods of preventing or curing cancer by employing similar mechanisms that hyaluronan uses.
