In this intriguing research paper, recently published in Nature Communications, ACE researchers led by Stefania E. Kapsetaki and Carlo Maley show that, surprisingly, there is no significant link between diet and plasma sugar levels across nonhuman vertebrate species,...

Ace researchers have found that sea sponges are incredibly resistant to radiation, and though some species can live for hundreds of years or longer, the their study didn't find any evidence of tumors in the animals. In fact, one species studied could withstand 100...

In a major study of almost 300 vertebrate species published in the journal, Cancer Discovery, ACE researchers examined over 16,000 necropsy records to look for the incidence of cancer across species.  Among the findings of this ten year study, the team discovered that...

Cancer in elephants is very rare, and in order to understand just how they are protected from the disease despite their size and long lifespan, a team including ACE researchers studied their TP-53 genes. Their results appeared in Nature, Cell Death Discovery in...
