A rodent that never gets cancer could hold the key to preventing or treating malignant tumours, say scientists. Lab studies show the skin cells of the naked mole-rat (pictured) are high in a natural sugary substance that stops tumours developing. The findings could lead to new human cancer therapies in the long term. There is one person, however, that won't be around for any of those therapies. That person, James Gandolfini, was the US actor best known for his role as a therapy-seeking mob boss in The Sopranos, and has died at the age of 51. Gandolfini suffered a possible heart attack while on holiday in Rome. The New Jersey-born star had been in Italy to attend the Taormina film festival in Sicily. He won three Emmy awards for his role as Tony Soprano, a mafia boss juggling his criminal career and family life. Rest in peace, Mr. Soprano.
