Voice of the Future Vol.2
Toward Clinical Applications of Hibernation :
The Frontline of Artificial Hibernation Research
What if humans could safely enter a hibernation-like state, as seen in certain animals? This breakthrough could revolutionize emergency medicine—enabling safer patient transport, prolonged organ preservation, and improved anesthesia safety—ultimately saving lives. If artificial hibernation can also extend human lifespan, it may even make long-term space travel a reality.
In this session, Dr. Genshiro Sunagawa of the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research will explain the fundamental principles of hibernation, drawing from his leading work in the field.
