Naked mole rats live for over 30 years — much longer than other rodents — without developing degenerative diseases. Their apparent “immunity” to aging is due to unique protective mechanisms that safeguard against DNA damage caused by mutations due to oxidative stress. Scientists believe these unusual creatures may unlock the secret to preventing and treating

Scientists recently found that the brains of young people exposed to air pollution display the markers of neurodegenerative diseases in their brain stems. A new study has shown that young adults and children exposed to air pollution have the markers of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and motor neuron disease in their brain stems. Alongside these
