Information on TV Broadcast “Science ZERO”（NHK Educational TV）
We are pleased to inform you that Dr. Takeshi Sakurai, Deputy Director of the International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine (WPI-IIIS), will appear on “Science ZERO” a science program of NHK Educational TV.
Sleep and hibernation are both “sleep,” but their contents seem to be quite different. Hibernation is a much lower burden on the body than sleep, and if it could be applied to humans, it is expected to lead to “aggressive time-building” in emergency medicine and more efficient space exploration. In 2020, Dr. Sakurai’s research team succeeded in putting non-hibernating mice into a near-hibernation state.
In this program, Dr. Sakurai explains when “Inducing hibernation in humans” will become a reality and how to solve the mystery of hibernation. Don’t miss it!
