The untapped potential of comparative biology in aging research; insights from the extraordinary-long-lived naked mole-rat.
The search for solutions to the vagaries of aging have, historically, been akin to searching at night in the bright light under street lamps by utilizing the few preexisting and well-established animal model systems. Throughout my career as a comparative biologist, I have ventured into the darkness across four continents and studied over 150 different animal species, many of which have evolved remarkable adaptations to survive on the harsh and rugged fitness landscape that exists outside of the laboratory setting. In this Fellows Forum, I will discuss the main focus of my research for the last 25 years and dig deeply into the biology of the preternaturally long -lived naked mole-rat that makes it an ideal model system for the characterization of successful strategies to combat aging.
