Huang et al. use proteomics to examine liver and liver mitochondria of hibernating bats. The authors observe the unfolded protein response in endoplasmic reticulum and co-activation of survival signaling pathways in torpid bats and provide further insight into physiological adaptations that allow bats to survive a long period of hibernation.
