Hibernation “on demand”: steps towards long space travel
Researchers have managed to induce hibernation in rodents thanks to ultrasonic pulses, bringing us closer to the dream of space stasis.

The physiological role of a protein has been discovered in reducing inflammation in the hypothalamus and putting the brakes on aging, extending life.
AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus “manage” the excitability of neurons in the cerebral cortex by stimulating nervous hunger. And what do we do now?
The relationship between salt and deep brain regions reveals surprises according to a new study from Georgia University
A study confirms that the shape of mitochondria affects calorie absorption and metabolic function.
Do displays really change our circadian rhythm and our sleep quality? Do the blue filters work? Here's what scientific research says.
The results are surprising: a drug can replace weight reduction surgery. It has entered phase III
Gonadotropins play a key role in the fertility of mammals, including humans: today we know how they are produced by the brain.
In the imagination of science fiction, space travel is possible thanks to a form of hibernation practiced on astronauts. Science takes steps towards suspended animation in recent research.
As reported in the journal Cell Metabolism, the protein circulating in mice (an enzyme called eNAMPT) plays a key role in the process that provides cells with energy. Over the years, the latter become less and less efficient in producing this "fuel" (called NAD) necessary for your health.
Don't crucify yourself for a skipped gym day or a sin of gluttony: weight control could be more of a chemistry problem than you think.
