Elephants, giraffes, pythons and other large species have higher cancer rates than smaller ones like mice, bats, and frogs, a new study has shown, overturning a 45-year-old belief about cancer in the ...

Bigger animals live longer and have more cells that could go awry, so we would expect them to have a greater risk of developing cancer. A comprehensive analysis of 263 species suggests this is indeed ...

Cancer is a leading cause of death in both humans and pets; studies suggest that between one-third and one-half of all dogs ...

Despite decades of research, scientists were still trying to figure out why rates of malignant cancer do not appear to increase with an animal species' size – a paradox first proposed in 1977 by ...

Imagine owning a home the scale of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Beyond the headache of cleaning 250 rooms, you'd likely wage a constant battle with faulty plumbing, electricity, ...

The study sheds new light on Peto’s paradox — the observation that larger animals do not always have higher rates of cancer — by showing that while cancer prevalence generally increases with body size ...

If you throw a huge party, there’s more of a chance of problems than if you host a quiet get-together for a couple of friends. The logic is simple: Having more people around means more opportunities ...

The world’s most resilient animal, the microscopic tardigrade, produces a radiation-resisting protein that could revolutionize cancer treatment, according to a new study. Scientists found that the ...

All animal experiments were performed on mice and zebrafish that were either bred or genetically modified to quickly develop cancer. Would this same effect be expected in wild-type animals? Would the ...

In a TNBC animal model with limited responsiveness to chemotherapy, Telomir-1 demonstrated statistically significant activity ...
