DNA repair mechanisms help explain why naked mole-rats live a long life
Naked mole-rats are one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret to their extreme longevity? How are they able to delay the decay and decline that befalls other rodents?

Ende „dramatischer Rallye“ bei Kakaopreis
Der Preis für Rohkakao ist in den vergangenen Jahren auf den internationalen Rohstoffmärkten steil nach oben geschossen und erreichte teils historische Höchstwerte.
