Archaeologists have discovered the oldest cancerous tumor: all living things were killed, even during the trias

Scientists have studied the ancient remains of the unpackaged turtle and discovered shocking data

It turned out that about 240 million years ago, in Germany, an unshaven ancestor of a modern turtle, has developed something different: a kind of bone tumor that hit one of the legs. Unexplained creature.

Uryadovy Kurier is described in JAMA Oncology, described in JAMA Oncology.

It should be noted that the remains of Pappochelys rosinae, the unopposed turtle, were first discovered to scientists in 2015.

The research team determined that the old tumor was a kind of bone cancer, the so-called osteosarcoma of the periosteal spine, which "almost looks like osteosarcoma in humans" – says coauthor Patrick Asbach, radiologist doctor at l & rsquo; Medical University of Berlin at Sharit.

It is known that this type of bone cancer affects at least one in three patients with diagnosed bone cancer

This study suggests that even during the triassic period, at about the time of onset Early dinosaurs, animals have undergone mutations in the DNA that led to cancer.

"This discovery is striking because cancer is almost not found in fossils, most cancers occur in the soft tissues, and even though we sometimes see signs of pathology which tissues are on the bones (bones), so it's really hard to diagnose "The researchers also discovered several other very old species of cancer in fossil fish and amphibians, as well as a benign tumor in the work of mammalian parents , called gorgonopsidum. "

Remember that Egyptians learned a lot from things about their life and their death.The greatest information about the pharaohs and their parents was saved, the circumstances of birth and death were chronicled. re, many mummies could be studied by scientists using tomography and DNA analysis.
