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

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 ...

The tardigrade genome, for example, is a rich source of information, explaining how these microorganisms can survive in the vacuum of space. Extremophiles that can digest radiation and toxicities ...

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

A protein from tardigrades, called Dsup, may shield healthy cells from radiation damage Scientists used nanoparticles to deliver mRNA instructions for producing Dsup in mice Treated cells showed ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
