À ra thế

các nhà khoa học cho rằng voi hiếm khi bị ung thư vì... tinh hoàn nóng :D

Elephants rarely get cancer, and scientists are getting to the bottom of this — literally. Researchers recently found a clue in their testicles (tinh hoàn) that could reveal how elephants evolved to resist the development of cancerous tumors (tế bào ung thư).
The ability to avoid cancer is called Peto’s Paradox. The theory (lý thuyết) first emerged from a famed epidemiologist (dịch tễ học) named Richard Peto who made an interesting observation while out on the field. Normally, a larger animal would have more cells and chances for cell division — which would increase their cancer risk. However, Peto noticed two of the largest animals on the planet — whales and elephants — don’t develop cancer.

While elephants' ability to resist cancer has been linked (liên kết) to their genes, scientists are still uncovering the mechanisms behind this phenomenon.
