We recommend reading a publication that was created by Rafał Ciosk (University of Oslo) and Wojciech Pokrzywa (IIMCB) groups as part of a GRIEG grant. It deals with how animals rewire cellular programs to survive cold. It is a fascinating problem with potential biomedical implications, ranging from emergency medicine to space travel. The authors of the publication finally show that mimicking the effects of FTN-1/FTH1 with drugs protects neurons from cold-induced degeneration, opening a potential avenue to improved treatments of hypothermia.
