Antifreeze Protein Fights Frostbite in Mice

A new study from Yale University shows that a protein that protects ticks from freezing temperatures also prevents frostbite when introduced in mice. This is the first study to demonstrate the protein’s ability to boost frostbite resistance in an adult mammal. The research was published February 25 in the journal PLOS ONE. Several animal species, […]
