In a groundbreaking study, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have harnessed ancient DNA to combat modern antibiotic resistance. By analyzing genetic material from extinct species like the woolly mammoth, they discovered a peptide named “mammuthusin” capable of eradicating drug-resistant bacteria in laboratory mice. This innovative approach, combining artificial intelligence with ancient genetic data, offers a promising avenue in the fight against superbugs, which currently cause over five million deaths annually. The research underscores the untapped potential of ancient genomes in modern medicine.
