Hibernation is a unique process, over the biochemistry of which scientists are still puzzled in many ways.. Researchers in recent years are not even interested in how bears and other animals manage to slow down their heart rate and metabolism to a minimum, but in the fact that during this process the animal's body demonstrates an unprecedented regenerative ability..

The wounds of animals that are in the process of hibernation traditionally heal two to three times faster, and at the same time they do not leave any scars or scars on their bodies, no matter how severe their injury is.. Moreover, having hibernated, the animal completely eliminates the possibility of infection or inflammation in the wound, which indicates an unprecedented increase in the scale of the immune system..

As a result of the study, a group of scientists analyzed the condition of 1,000 bears on the territory of national reserves in Minnesota and Wyoming for 25 years, trying to determine what exactly contributes to the strengthening of their regenerative processes.. The idea was to try to transfer the ability of bears to people - figuratively speaking, try to recreate the atmosphere of a similar hibernation in victims of fires, car accidents and accidents, as a result of which their body could, was fully restored without leaving any scars on the body..

Nevertheless,.

a study organized by scientists did not bring any results - they could not find an answer to the question of how exactly bears heal their bodies. In general, it should be noted that there are many blank spots in the ambitious project of American researchers - since the method by which bears reduce the heart rate during hibernation from 55 beats per minute to less than 5 remains unknown to science today..

Several thousand tests were taken for various chemicals and hormones, but the answer to this and a number of other important questions was never found..

Nevertheless, the researchers do not give up - in the near future they promise to carefully analyze all the information they have and, on its basis, organize new work in this direction..
