Ho Ho hello, and welcome to another festive special of The Bio Philes Podcast. In this episode, we discuss the bitter taste of sprouts and their noxious side effects; stem cell applications in tissue regeneration; and how frogs manage to survive the sub-zero winter temperatures without becoming an ice lolly.

Ho Ho Ho and a happy new year. In this festive treat we discuss the regenerative abilities of reindeer’s antlers, a phenomenon which could be hailed as a Christmas miracle; how the big man in red keeps on top of his circumference given the circumstances; and the biochemistry and evolutionary reason for morning sickness. See you all in 2024.
