This study shows that bat fibroblasts require fewer oncogenic hits for malignant transformation compared to other long-lived mammals, suggesting reliance on non-cell autonomous tumor suppression mechanisms.

The paper develops universal epigenetic clocks that accurately estimate age across mammalian tissues using DNA methylation data from 185 species.

This study uses single-cell sequencing to identify cellular and molecular differences in the kidneys and pancreases of insectivorous and frugivorous bats, linking them to diabetes-related mechanisms.

This study uses DNA methylation profiles from bats to show that age and longevity are linked to specific methylation patterns, with longevity associated with immune and cancer-related genes.
