RE: A new research paper finds that naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) don’t have biological age like most other other organisms do! Could they be biologically immortal?

That would be amazing! We still don't know exactly how it suppresses cancer, but it could potentially be used to develop treatments for cancer in the future if we're lucky ;)

Then I hope that we get lucky soon so medical science is able to save as many life's as possible and people don't have to lose their loved ones :)

I could not agree more! I think we should research this mechanism until we understand it, and determine if it will be of any use to treating cancer :)
