The tardigrade’s unusual body plan and resistance to harsh conditions provide researchers like Bob Goldstein with a creative ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A protein found in tardigrades — tiny animals less than a millimeter long — can protect mice from radiation damage. Most cancer patients undergo radiation therapy as part of their treatment ...

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 ...

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 ...
