摘要
Many classical biologists working in Antarctica have 'gone molecular' to study the physiological basis for life on or below the ice. Investigating the remarkable adaptations of specific cells, organelles and molecules to this extreme environment can provide new perspectives on the processes studied in conventional experimental organisms.
