New Discovery Uncovers the Genetic Basis of Cold Tolerance in Cells
A new gene has been discovered that could pave the way for greater cold tolerance in cellular technologies. Researchers from the University of California, San Diego have identified a gene, called COLD-TOL, that is essential for the survival of cells in cold temperatures. This discovery could have significant implications for the development of new technologies and products that require cold-tolerant cells. The team believes that this could help to improve the efficiency of refrigeration systems and create energy savings, as well as create new applications for cold-tolerant cells. The findings were recently published in the journal Nature Communications.
