This protein from tardigrades may hold the key to protecting healthy tissues during cancer radiation treatment.

Researchers have found a way to use tardigrade proteins to potentially revolutionize cancer treatment and space travel.

While our genes are not changed by life experiences, they can be tuned through a system known as epigenetics. In response to ...

Drawing inspiration from the tardigrade, researchers developed a new strategy that may protect cancer patients from the side effects of radiation therapy.
