Revoluție în medicină. Secretul evoluției liliecilor ar putea debloca noi terapii împotriva cancerului și patogenilor mortali

A comprehensive study reveals new insights into bat evolution, suggesting they originated in Europe 65 million years ago, impacting research on viruses and cancer treatments in humans. The research, part of the global Bat1K initiative, analyzed ancient fossils and genomic data from current bat species, showing that bats spread from Europe to other continents. Bats are known for their role as reservoirs for zoonotic viruses but do not suffer from these diseases. Their unique longevity and low signs of aging may provide clues for human health studies.
