🔬 Naked Mole Rat Genes Just Extended Mouse Lifespan — And That's Only the Start

This week on Peer Review'd, scientists successfully transplanted a longevity gene from naked mole rats into mice, extending their lifespan in a move that could one day reshape how we think about human aging. Researchers also discovered over 200 metabolic enzymes operating a hidden 'shadow metabolism' directly on human DNA — a finding with major implications for how cancer cells survive treatment. On the cosmic front, new simulations have finally explained why nearby galaxies are fleeing the Milky Way, revealing a massive, invisible structure surrounding our galaxy that we never knew existed. Meanwhile, a 500,000-year-old bone hammer is rewriting what we thought we knew about early human intelligence, and chickpeas are now growing in simulated moon dirt — bringing lunar agriculture closer to reality than ever before.
