**Why hibernating bears do not get blood clots?
**
🐻 Despite spending several months [hibernating in frigid temperatures, brown bears](https://t.me/askmenow/2800) (__Ursus arctos__) remain remarkably healthy. Bears rarely suffer from maladies such as [blood](https://t.me/askmenow/3120) clots, which can occur in humans experiencing only temporary bouts of immobility and can be deadly.

✍️According to a last study, a **heat shock protein 47 (HSP47)** helps the hibernating bears avoid dangerous clotting.

ℹ️HSP47 recruits an enzyme called thrombin that helps platelets stick together and form clots. 

🐻In active bears, HSP47 helps patch up cuts and stop bleeding. But hibernating bears, which are safely snug in their dens, produce 55 times fewer HSP47 than active bears.

🤔[Generally](https://t.me/askmenow/3363), HSP47 [proteins](https://t.me/askmenow/3378) may be a mechanism used across mammals to prevent clotting during prolonged periods of rest. 

❗️Considered one of the most important in 2023, this finding can inspire fine-tuned treatments for preventing clotting in patients experiencing temporary immobility.
