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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
