37、hat they may also hold the key to fighting cancer (癌症)?People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has f

38、ound that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) from developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an antitumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, which was recently published on the online

39、science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animals sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes

40、 in many animals， ” study author Dr. Vincent Lynch told The Guardian.

This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop

43、 cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place.- 8 -“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer, ” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.“Its up to us to learn how different animals tackle (处理) the problem so we can use those
