As modern antibiotic resistance poses a severe threat to global healthcare, evolutionary biologists at the University of Oregon have achieved a massive antimicrobial protein breakthrough. The team successfully resurrected biological peptides from prehistoric mammals that lived 160 million years ago. Remarkably, laboratory testing showed that these ancient evolutionary relics are significantly more potent against modern drug-resistant superbugs than current human treatments, paving the way for a new generation of molecular medicine.
