Scientists discovered cancer in a dinosaur fossil. This finding may provide new insights into cancer development and potential treatments for humans.
Scientists have identified cancer within a dinosaur fossil, a finding that could offer new insights into cancer development and potential treatments for humans.
The discovery, detailed in a Biology journal publication (Chandrasinghe et al., 2025), involves erythrocyte-like structures observed under a scanning electron microscope.
Researchers believe studying this ancient cancer may reveal evolutionary aspects of the disease, potentially leading to novel therapeutic strategies.
