In a nutshell, they induced the symptoms of hypothermia (shivering, etc.) in a monkey "model" (biologist code for a real living monkey). One of the 'stunning' findings from the data was that monkey body temperature control is more complicated than that of white mice "models". And the conclusion is that being able to induce hypothermia is a step towards human hibernation ... wtf?<p>Typical of biology, it's not obvious that the results were expected. On the contrary b/c biology lacks first principles most experiments are done on a "let's see what happens when we ...". That seems fine until you understand the approach is being used on living creatures.<p>Biology is butterfly collecting and animal torture.
