Interstellar dreams: Bat blood may enable human hibernation for long space travels
SMRTR summary
German researchers have discovered that bat blood cells adapt uniquely to extreme cold, potentially paving the way for human hibernation in space travel. The study found bat erythrocytes continue transforming at temperatures as low as 50°F, while human blood cells stall, suggesting bats have special cold-resistant traits that could be applied to humans for long-distance space missions.
