DNA sulla Sindone, un nuovo studio ricostruisce le tracce biologiche accumulate dal tessuto nel corso dei secoli

La Sindone di Torino continua a essere al centro della ricerca scientifica. Un nuovo studio pubblicato sulla rivista Scientific Reports del gruppo Nature analizza il DNA presente sui frammenti del telo prelevati nel 1978, offrendo una dettagliata ricostruzione delle contaminazioni biologiche accumulate nel corso dei secoli e delle complesse vicende conservative della reliquia.

La ricerca, condotta tra il 2022 e il 2025 dall’Università di Pavia e dall’Università di Padova, ha esaminato i campioni ufficiali raccolti nella notte tra l’8 e il 9 ottobre 1978 dal medico legale Pierluigi Baima Bollone, utilizzando moderne tecniche di sequenziamento genomico e analisi metagenomica.

Gli autori sottolineano che i risultati non permettono di determinare l’origine della Sindone, ma contribuiscono a comprendere quali organismi abbiano lasciato nel tempo tracce biologiche sul tessuto.

Il DNA racconta la lunga storia del telo

Gli studiosi sono riusciti a estrarre materiale genetico da sette dei frammenti disponibili, nonostante la limitata quantità di DNA conservato e il forte degrado dei campioni.

Le analisi hanno evidenziato una situazione particolarmente complessa: il telo conserva infatti una stratificazione di residui biologici accumulati nel corso dei secoli, dovuti alla manipolazione della reliquia, alle esposizioni pubbliche, agli interventi di restauro e ai diversi ambienti nei quali è stata custodita.

Secondo i ricercatori, il profilo genetico ottenuto rappresenta una sorta di archivio biologico nel quale convivono tracce umane, vegetali, animali e microbiche provenienti da epoche differenti.

La contaminazione del prelievo del 1978

Uno dei risultati più significativi riguarda proprio i campioni raccolti nel 1978.

Il gruppo dell’Università di Pavia ha identificato come profilo mitocondriale predominante una linea genetica coincidente con quella di Pierluigi Baima Bollone, il medico che effettuò il prelievo dei frammenti.

Secondo gli autori, la presenza di proteine della pelle e di cheratine suggerisce che le operazioni di campionamento non furono svolte con procedure oggi considerate sterili, probabilmente senza l’utilizzo di guanti. Questa contaminazione avrebbe coperto parte delle tracce genetiche più antiche presenti sul tessuto.

Nonostante ciò, gli studiosi hanno individuato anche altri lignaggi umani riconducibili a popolazioni dell’Eurasia occidentale e del Medio Oriente. Tuttavia, precisano gli autori, non è possibile stabilire quando tali profili siano stati depositati sulla Sindone, né collegarli a specifici eventi storici.

Microrganismi, piante e animali raccontano la conservazione della reliquia

Le analisi metagenomiche condotte dall’Università di Padova hanno restituito un quadro estremamente ricco della biodiversità presente sui campioni.

Sono stati identificati batteri, funghi e archei tipici della pelle umana e di ambienti salini, oltre a tracce genetiche appartenenti a numerose specie vegetali e animali.

Fra queste compaiono DNA di corallo rosso del Mediterraneo, cereali come grano e mais, oltre a carota, banana e arachide, insieme a residui genetici di bovini, suini, polli, cani e gatti.

Secondo i ricercatori, questa composizione biologica è compatibile con contaminazioni relativamente recenti e riflette secoli di esposizione del telo a contesti molto diversi, senza fornire indicazioni sull’epoca di realizzazione della reliquia.

Le analisi confermano la complessità della storia conservativa

Lo studio affronta anche due fili provenienti dal reliquiario della Sindone, sottoposti a nuove analisi radiometriche.

Le datazioni ottenute li collocano tra il 1451 e il 1799, un intervallo compatibile con gli interventi di riparazione successivi all’incendio della Sainte-Chapelle del Castello di Chambéry del 1532, quando la reliquia subì gravi danni.

L’individuazione di proteine tipiche della seta suggerisce inoltre che questo materiale possa essere stato impiegato proprio durante le operazioni di restauro documentate dalle fonti storiche.

Un contributo alla ricerca, non una risposta definitiva

Gli autori evidenziano come il lavoro rappresenti un importante contributo alla conoscenza della storia materiale della Sindone, ma invitano alla massima prudenza nell’interpretazione dei risultati.

Il DNA recuperato non appartiene infatti a un unico momento storico, bensì costituisce la sovrapposizione di numerose contaminazioni accumulate nel tempo. Per questo motivo le analisi genetiche non consentono di attribuire con certezza un’origine geografica o cronologica alla reliquia, ma permettono di ricostruire i processi di conservazione, manipolazione e interazione con l’ambiente che hanno interessato il celebre telo nel corso della sua storia.

Secondo i ricercatori, questa composizione biologica è compatibile con contaminazioni relativamente recenti e riflette secoli di esposizione del telo a contesti molto diversi, senza fornire indicazioni sull’epoca di realizzazione della reliquia.

Le analisi confermano la complessità della storia conservativa

Lo studio affronta anche due fili provenienti dal reliquiario della Sindone, sottoposti a nuove analisi radiometriche.

Le datazioni ottenute li collocano tra il 1451 e il 1799, un intervallo compatibile con gli interventi di riparazione successivi all’incendio della Sainte-Chapelle del Castello di Chambéry del 1532, quando la reliquia subì gravi danni.

L’individuazione di proteine tipiche della seta suggerisce inoltre che questo materiale possa essere stato impiegato proprio durante le operazioni di restauro documentate dalle fonti storiche.

Un contributo alla ricerca, non una risposta definitiva

Gli autori evidenziano come il lavoro rappresenti un importante contributo alla conoscenza della storia materiale della Sindone, ma invitano alla massima prudenza nell’interpretazione dei risultati.

Il DNA recuperato non appartiene infatti a un unico momento storico, bensì costituisce la sovrapposizione di numerose contaminazioni accumulate nel tempo. Per questo motivo le analisi genetiche non consentono di attribuire con certezza un’origine geografica o cronologica alla reliquia, ma permettono di ricostruire i processi di conservazione, manipolazione e interazione con l’ambiente che hanno interessato il celebre telo nel corso della sua storia.

Internet zbudowany przez naturę. Zaskakujące badania pokazują, jak grzyby reagują na związki chemiczne

Większość z nas postrzega grzyby jedynie przez pryzmat owocników, które po deszczu wystają ponad ściółkę. W rzeczywistości pod naszymi stopami kryją się gigantyczne, podziemne sieci grzybni, które przypominają naturalny internet i nieustannie przekazują sobie sygnały elektryczne.

Japońscy naukowcy postanowili sprawdzić, jak dokładnie działają te kanały, badając ich reakcję na wodę i konkretne związki chemiczne. Wyniki precyzyjnie pokazują, w jaki sposób biologiczna sieć reaguje na zmiany w środowisku.

Elektrody podpięte do leśnej sieci

Badacze z Uniwersytetu Tohoku opublikowali na łamach „Scientific Reports” wyniki fascynującego eksperymentu. Podłączyli oni mikroskopijne elektrody do 37 dziko rosnących grzybów ektomykoryzowych. Ten konkretny rodzaj grzybów charakteryzuje się bardzo dużą wrażliwością na wysokie stężenie amoniaku w glebie. Co ciekawe, w ramach eksperymentu naukowcy jako naturalnego źródła tego związku użyli ludzkiego moczu, chcąc zbadać reakcję sieci na codzienne, organiczne procesy zachodzące w przyrodzie.

Naukowcy potraktowali badane obiekty wodą z kranu oraz wspomnianym źródłem amoniaku, a następnie mierzyli ich sygnały elektryczne. Badania potwierdziły, że przepływ ładunków w biologicznej sieci nie jest przypadkowy – aktywność elektryczna potrafi drastycznie wzrastać lub spadać w zależności od tego, z jakim bodźcem organizm wszedł w kontakt.

Dlaczego podziemny internet nagle milknie?

Zanotowane wyniki obalają mit, że system korzeniowy pulsuje nieprzerwanie i z taką samą intensywnością. Kiedy naukowcy polali wodą tylko jednego grzyba, jego aktywność elektryczna natychmiast wzrosła, co oznaczało zwiększoną aktywność sygnałów płynących do reszty sieci. Kiedy jednak wodę rozlano na znacznie większym obszarze, ogólna aktywność elektryczna spadła. Podobny efekt gwałtownego „wyciszenia” przesyłu sygnałów zaobserwowano po potraktowaniu pojedynczego grzyba amoniakiem.

Skąd bierze się ta wybiórczość? Autorzy badania stawiają prostą i logiczną hipotezę: jeśli bodziec dotyka od razu dużego obszaru, podziemna sieć nie musi przesyłać dalej ładunków, bo wszystkie jej węzły już na niego zareagowały. Oprócz tego naukowcy zauważyli, że na jakość przesyłu danych mocno wpływa również dystans fizyczny oraz stopień pokrewieństwa genetycznego między poszczególnymi grzybami.

Dla nas to nie tylko biologiczna ciekawostka. Rozszyfrowanie sposobu, w jaki rośliny i grzyby reagują na nagłe zmiany chemiczne czy suszę, to klucz do stworzenia rolnictwa przyszłości. W dłuższej perspektywie może to pomóc w projektowaniu naturalnie odpornych upraw, pozwalając ograniczyć zużycie sztucznych nawozów.

Świadomość jako fundament wszechświata. Radykalna teoria fizyczki z Uppsali to nie pseudonauka
