A study of nearly 900 dogs across 120 breeds reveals that larger dogs age faster and have shorter lifespans due to changes in their epigenome, particularly in 'jumping genes' called LINE1s. These genes, when unregulated, cause genetic instability and age-related diseases. The findings could have implications for understanding human aging as well.

Chernobyl's Wildlife Thrives 40 Years After Disaster
A new study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B has found an impressive number of large animals thriving in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a 2,600 square kilometer area in northern Ukraine largely inaccessible to humans since the reactor explosion in 1986. The 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster has brought an unexpected twist: it has become a sanctuary for wildlife. The study documents the presence of wolves, bears, lynxes, elks, and wild horses in the area, highlighting how the absence of humans has paradoxically transformed the region into a refuge for numerous animals.
