Scientists at the University of Rochester transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, resulting in the mice living approximately 4.4 percent longer and showing improved health, including greater cancer resistance and reduced inflammation. The gene boosts production of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, a protective substance abundant in naked mole rats that may be adaptable to other mammals, including humans.
