With support from a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a multidisciplinary team led by Hong Chen at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis seeks to integrate ultrasound with genetics to precisely modify neurons in the brain.
Researchers induced a hibernation-like state in mice by using ultrasound to stimulate the hypothalamus preoptic area in the brain, which helps to regulate body temperature and metabolism. The findings show the first noninvasive and safe method to induce such a state; a similar condition has been previously proposed for spaceflight or for patients with life-threatening health conditions.
A groundbreaking study published in Nature Metabolism has unveiled a noninvasive and safe method to induce a torpor-like state in mice and rats. Led by
