The budding scientists collected the tiny water bears in a massive citizen science project that involved almost 30,000 ...
Boosting cells with a tardigrade protein reduced DNA damage after radiation, offering potential protection for healthy tissue ...
Scientists are just starting to understand the tardigrade. It can survive boiling water, outer space, and extreme radiation. Following is a transcript of the video. This funny looking little guy ...
In a study published in Communications Biology earlier this month, scientists captured high-definition images of the ...
The world’s most resilient animal, the microscopic tardigrade, produces a radiation-resisting protein that could revolutionize cancer treatment, according to a new study. Scientists found that ...
Researchers have found a way to use tardigrade proteins to potentially revolutionize cancer treatment and space travel.
It all has to do with tardigrades. A team of researchers from University of Iowa Health Care, MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital has developed an innovative method to protect healthy tissue ...
They decided to add actual tardigrades-- super-tough microscopic creatures, also known as "water bears," that can be dehydrated and revived at least a decade later -- to the resin that sealed the ...
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 ...
