8:12 pm
understanding the biochemistry behind this could have major implications for human health. best may seem an unlikely source of inspiration to prevent risky blood clots in humans. but scientists were willing to whether the swedish winter tracking through the snow to analyze the animals. after noticing an interesting quirk in their biology, certain people, for example, who in my voice say someone who is paralyzed a wheelchair down, tend not to be an increased risk of having the pain from bosis, despite the fact that they're not moving a legs. so why is this? so we turned to an interesting solution to this problem and that was to look around pace. because bombay is hibernate for periods of the winter. they don't mean to to yet they seem to be protected from, from bosis. along with hibernating, brown bez, the scientists investigated patients with back injuries who were mobilized alongside on injured volunteers who took
8:13 pm
a months bedrest as part of the trial. the bad live in reserve and also in sweden. they could easily be located because they were tagged with gps tracking devices. scientist took blood samples from the sleeping bags in winter, and then again when the pads were active in spring time. they focused on a protein called h. s p 47. that is important in the closing process. when they are awake, on average there was a near total reduction of h. s. b 47 in the blood of the hibernating, bez and the resting human volunteers levels of the protein where on average, 50 percent lower compared to when they were active the best. so the reducing levels of the protein plays a key role in preventing plots. discovering something like this is hugely exciting
8:14 pm
as well, so i just leave. it may be hard to believe, but course a lot of what side symbols is quite repetitive and quite a lot of repetition. and you're always thinking about a long term goal. you're thinking about what would be like to find something for the 1st time. also maybe discovery that kid have a really big impact in this case, some human health, so hugely exciting. scientists now have a new target for drugs to fight dangerous blood cuts. they say new treatments could hit the market in as little as 5 years. and finally, a french climber has scaled a 38 story skyscraper in paris to protest changes to the countries retirement laws . residents looked on in all as 60 year old, or land or bad climb the 150 meter tall building without a harness or rope. the aptly nicknamed french spider man says he wanted to demonstrate his support for all those who opposed the governments pension reform.
