MitomiRs in hibernating thirteen-lined ground squirrels

In the latest APS Publications Podcast, coauthors Karyn Robichaud, and Brynne Duffy discuss their fascinating research on the altered mitochondrial microRNA profiles in thirteen-lined ground squirrels during hibernation. This study sheds light on the metabolic changes these squirrels undergo during torpor and IBE, revealing 38 liver mitomiRs that differ based on hibernation state.
