How the Antarctic cod manages to survive in freezing waters may help save human lives by controlling our cardiovascular system.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham are studying how the cod can maintain a heart rate as low as 10 beats per minute in the freezing environment.
Such control could be used to help patients keep a slow heart rate during surgery or help in the treatment of hypothermia.
