Chernobyl s mutant wolves could hold secret to cancer cure
Chernobyls mutant wolves could hold secret to cancer cure , chernobyl, cancer, science Mutant wolves that roam the humanfree Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed cancerresilient genomes that could be key to helping humans fight the deadly disease, according to a study. The wild animals have managed to adapt and survive the high levels of radiation that have plagued the area after a nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl power plant exploded in 1986, becoming the worlds worst nuclear accident. Humans abandoned the area after the explosion leaked cancercausing radiation into the environment, and a 1, 000squaremile zone was roped off to prevent further human exposure. But in the nearly 38 years since the nuclear disaster, wildlife has reclaimed the area including packs of wolves that seem to be unaffected by the chronic exposure to the radiation.
