Scientists report that long-lived bat species carry an expanded set of genes that regulate responses to viruses. These genetic traits may underlie bats' tolerance of high viral loads and contribute to extended lifespan. Findings could illuminate molecular pathways of aging and disease resistance, with potential relevance for biomedical research.
