Hibernating hamsters maintain muscle cells by suppressing muscle regeneration, study shows

Phys.org1/26/2026

Summary

A research team led by Hiroshima University has shown that skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation during hibernation. This finding may enhance the understanding of muscle tissue maintenance under prolonged low-temperature conditions and could lead to therapeutic applications.
