Dinosaurs might be more than just fascinating relics of the past—they could help pave the way towards new and better treatments for cancer.

This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers from the Anglia Ruskin University and Imperial College London, both in England, that reveals that dinosaur fossils still carry biological clues—specifically, preserved proteins—that can teach us how a ncient species dealt with diseases like cancer.

Their research, published in the journal Biology , could pave the way for future medical breakthroughs.

"Dinosaurs, as long-lived, large-bodied organisms, present a compelling case for investigating how species managed cancer susceptibility and resistance over millions of years," explained paper author and Anglia Ruskin oncologist professor Justin
