Protein of whale with 200-year lifespan can mend human DNA: Study

Protein of a Bowhead whale, which can live up to 200 years, can significantly improve DNA repair in humans, researchers from New York's Albert Einstein College of Medicine found. Introducing these proteins in humans could improve cellular repair functions and even extend human lifespan. Researchers added the protein can help repair double-strand DNA breaks, a genetic damage linked to cancer.
