Hibernating ground squirrels provide clues to new stroke treatments.
″ A treatment to help brain cells survive a stroke-induced lack of oxygen and glucose could dramatically improve patient outcomes, but no such neuroprotective agents for stroke patients exist.”
“ebselen—was found to both boost SUMOylation in rat cells and keep them alive in the absence of oxygen and glucose.”

This is also important for space travel to the Belt and beyond. There is some research on-going on hibernation for humans.
and this, reverses brain trauma injury in mice.
