Naked mole-rats are known for their longevity, but how do they do it? 🤔

A recent Nature Communications study led by Dunja Aksentijevic Ricciarelli & Chris Faulkes (@QMUniversity) has discovered how their unique cardiometabolic profile plays a role — learn more at ScienceDaily: buff.ly/3TQHNWB

One big message is that yet again, NMRs (red) are so different from everyone else, close (other mole-rats) and distant (H. golden mole, mouse). Figure 4B below -LD analysis of the cardiac metabolite data- illustrates this

Hurrah - at last, naked mole-rats strike again! QM_SBBS SBBSGenomics QMUL Sci & Eng News Barts and The London, Queen Mary

Fantastic stuff, well done!👏

LAST CALL 📷 for Naked Mole Rats online drawing class, this coming Thursday 7th March at 7pm GMT for #internationalwomensday with Wild Life Drawing instagram.com/p/C4G05KmI90U/…
We will be live streaming with two camera angles and Chris Faulkes and donating to People's Trust for Endangered Species

Well done Dunja - you broke my rule of not drinking before 8:00 am - unless it's is following the night before!😃 It's been a long mission with this manuscript but worth it in the end!

This is a great initiative, Mike would have loved it .

Went well, much fun!😃

Naked mole-rat research World Tour (well, Estonia this week, London next week with Dunja Aksentijevic Ricciarelli !)😃

Great project with Steve Rossiter!

Listening to Lucy Cooke new series on @bbcradio4 and totally snorted when naked mole rats were described as ‘Sabre-toothed sausages’

I salute you Chris Faulkes - you have massively made my day! Excellent stuff Lucy 🤓

Great to have been involved with this work, some really exciting data 😃

Fascinating addition to the hyaluronan story in naked mole-rats!

There seems to be a cat growing in our catnip plant!😂 #mainecoon #catsofacademia
