Clusters of genes found in humans match those that hibernating animals like mice use to power down during lean times, a new ...

New genetic research suggests that hibernating animals’ metabolic superpowers could lie hidden in our own DNA – and provides ...

Hibernating animals' amazing abilities could lie within our own DNA—and perhaps their resilience could one day be ours too.

Animals that hibernate are incredibly resilient. They can spend months without food or water, muscles refusing to atrophy, ...

The discovery of a hibernation-like state in an Early Triassic species suggests animals may have been using torpor to avoid the challenges of winter for at least 250 million years.

Why the hibernating ribosomes attach to the surface of mitochondria is a mystery. “There could be different explanations,” Mattei said.

What they discovered underneath were five black bears: a mama and four cubs. Executive director of BEAR League, Ann Bryant, told CNN Thursday the bears had likely been hibernating under the house ...
