Dwarf Lemurs Combat Aging During Hibernation by Reversing Their Cellular Clocks
89% Informative
A research team from Duke University and the University of California, San Francisco , recently studied the effects of hibernation and food deprivation in dwarf lemurs.
Researchers have long known that telomeres - the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes - play a key role in cellular aging.
During hibernation, mammals undergo phases of metabolic depression, known as torpor, which are interrupted by brief periods of increased body temperature (euthermia) to maintain survival.
