At least one of the newly discovered species—which turned out to be surprisingly widespread—will be described in detail, with ...

A field known as synthetic biology has become one of the most highly anticipated in science. Its outputs range from golden ...

Tardigrades, or water bears ... Within hours, the mRNA and protein would degrade without integrating into the genome. To optimize mRNA delivery, the team screened libraries of both polymer and lipid ...

Mouse cells tweaked to produce the tardigrade protein incurred less DNA damage than unaltered cells — hinting at a new tool for cancer patient care.

One study in particular presented how the study of tardigrades could help address the challenges involved. The study was conducted by Isadora Arantes, a NASA ambassador and astronaut candidate ...

Scientists at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy examined how Acutuncus antarcticus, a tardigrade species native to the Antarctic, would react to climate change–associated stressors ...

Now, scientists are turning to a surprising source for help: tardigrades — tiny, resilient animals known for surviving extreme environments, including radiation levels that would be lethal to ...

When the German zoologist Ephraim Goeze first recognized, described, and named the kleiner Wasserbär (“Little Waterbear”) in 1773, he could not yet have guessed that he had found the Chuck Norris of ...

Researchers from BioBright describe Tardigrade as dynamically recompiling itself based on the environment, thereby constantly changing signatures. If that sounds a little too breathless and ...
