Very excited to post this preprint... making a species that doesn't hibernate do something a lot like it, AND showing it is cardioprotective.

Synthetic torpor in the rat recapitulates key features of natural torpor and is cardioprotective
During hibernation, animals enter torpor, a reversible physiological state typically characterised by reductions in core temperature, heart rate and oxygen consumption. Species that enter this hypothe...

Check out our new preprint! Microglia in different layers of the developing retina express distinct gene profiles - implications for how microglia influence development not just in the retina but throughout the CNS.
