Application of artificial hibernation technology in acute brain injury

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research
Controlling intracranial pressure, nerve cell regeneration, and microenvironment regulation are the key issues in reducing mortality and disability in acute brain injury. There is currently a lack of effective treatment methods.

Decreases in body temperature and body mass constitute pre-hibernation remodelling in the Syrian golden hamster, a facultative mammalian hibernator [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
Hibernation is an adaptive strategy for surviving during periods with little or no food availability, by profoundly reducing the metabolic rate and the core body temperature (Tb). Obligate hibernators (e.g.

Long-term individualized monitoring of sympatric bat species reveals distinct species- and demographic differences in hibernation phenology

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Hibernation allows species to conserve energy and thereby bridge unfavorable environmental conditions. At the same time, hibernation imposes substantial ecological and physiological costs.

Temporal dynamics of the bat wing transcriptome: Insight into gene-expression changes that enable protection against pathogen

open access: yesVirulence, 2023
Skin acts as a mechanical barrier between the body and its surrounding environment and plays an important role in resistance to pathogens. However, we still know little regarding skin responses to physiological changes, particularly with regard to ...

Flickering body temperature anticipates criticality in hibernation dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
Hibernation has been selected for increasing survival in harsh climatic environments. Seasonal variability in temperature may push the body temperatures of hibernating animals across boundaries of alternative states between euthermic temperature and ...

Metabolic changes in summer active and anuric hibernating free-ranging brown bears (ursus arctos) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The brown bear (Ursus arctos) hibernates for 5 to 6 months each winter and during this time ingests no food or water and remains anuric and inactive.

Hepatic resistance to cold ferroptosis in a mammalian hibernator Syrian hamster depends on effective storage of diet-derived α-tocopherol

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Daisuke Anegawa et al. investigated the mechanisms responsible for cold resistance in the Syrian hamster’s hepatocytes, which exhibited remarkable resistance to prolonged cold culture.

Hibernation [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2013
Hibernation (multiday torpor) and daily torpor in heterothermic mammals and birds are characterized by pronounced temporal reductions in body temperature, energy expenditure, water loss, and other physiological functions and are the most effective means for energy conservation available to endotherms.

Oxidative and osmotolerant effects in Salvator merianae (Squamata: Teiidae) red blood cells during hibernation

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Hibernation is a natural condition of animals that lives in the temperate zone, although some tropical lizards also experience hibernation annually, such as the lizard native from South America, Salvator merianae, or “tegu” lizard.
