Tardigrade secretory proteins protect biological structures from desiccation
Tardigrades, microscopic animals that survive a broad range of environmental stresses, express a unique set of proteins termed tardigrade-specific...
-
Tardigrade small heat shock proteins can limit desiccation-induced protein aggregation
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are chaperones with well-characterized roles in heat stress, but potential roles for sHSPs in desiccation tolerance...

Sexual dimorphism in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus transcriptome
BackgroundIn gonochoristic animals, the sex determination pathway induces different morphological and behavioral features that can be observed...

Teaching transposon classification as a means to crowd source the curation of repeat annotation – a tardigrade perspective
BackgroundThe advancement of sequencing technologies results in the rapid release of hundreds of new genome assemblies a year providing unprecedented...

The tardigrade protein CAHS D interacts with, but does not retain, water in hydrated and desiccated systems
Tardigrades are a group of microscopic animals renowned for their ability to survive near complete desiccation. A family of proteins, unique to...

The tardigrade Mesobiotus aradasi (Binda, Pilato & Lisi, 2005) is widely distributed along the Antarctic Peninsula
Antarctica is considered one of the most inhospitable places to life due to its low temperatures and lack of liquid water. However, meiofauna taxa...

Morphological and genetic variability in cosmopolitan tardigrade species—Paramacrobiotus fairbanksi Schill, Förster, Dandekar & Wolf, 2010
Paramacrobiotus fairbanksi was described from Alaska (USA) based on integrative taxonomy and later reported from various geographical localities...
-
Green armoured tardigrades (Echiniscidae: Viridiscus), including a new species from the Southern Nearctic, exemplify problems with tardigrade variability research
Ranges of tardigrade intraspecific and interspecific variability are not precisely defined, both in terms of morphology and genetics, rendering...

The tardigrade-derived mitochondrial abundant heat soluble protein improves adipose-derived stem cell survival against representative stressors
Human adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) grafts have emerged as a powerful tool in regenerative medicine. However, ASC therapeutic potential is hindered...

Effect of environmental and microhabitat variables on tardigrade communities in a medium-sized city in central Argentina
Urban ecosystems are dynamic and complex, with human disturbances that lead to biotic homogenization. We consider the changes suffered by the...
-
Desiccation risk favours prevalence and diversity of tardigrade communities and influences their trophic structure in alpine ephemeral rock pools
Rock pools are ephemeral freshwater habitats characterized by their small size, well-defined boundaries, and periodic desiccation, making them ideal...

Host identity is the dominant factor in the assembly of nematode and tardigrade gut microbiomes in Antarctic Dry Valley streams
Recent work examining nematode and tardigrade gut microbiomes has identified species-specific relationships between host and gut community...
-
Trehalose and tardigrade CAHS proteins work synergistically to promote desiccation tolerance
Tardigrades are microscopic animals renowned for their ability to survive extreme desiccation. Unlike many desiccation-tolerant organisms that...
-
Tardigrade-inspired extremotolerant glycerogels
We developed extremotolerant glycerogels (GGs) with well-modulated polymer structures, functions, and properties, inspired by the tun formation of...

Desiccation-induced fibrous condensation of CAHS protein from an anhydrobiotic tardigrade
Anhydrobiosis, one of the most extensively studied forms of cryptobiosis, is induced in certain organisms as a response to desiccation. Anhydrobiotic...
-
Mitochondrial alternative oxidase contributes to successful tardigrade anhydrobiosis
Anhydrobiosis can be described as an adaptation to lack of water that enables some organisms, including tardigrades, to survive extreme conditions,...
-
Integrative taxonomy reveals new, widely distributed tardigrade species of the genus Paramacrobiotus (Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae)
In a moss sample collected in Ribeiro Frio, Madeira, Paramacrobiotus gadabouti sp. nov. was found and described using the integrative taxonomy...

Tardigrade: An Atomic Broadcast Protocol for Arbitrary Network Conditions
We study the problem of atomic broadcast—the underlying problem addressed by blockchain protocols—in the presence of a malicious adversary who...

Morphological differences in tardigrade spermatozoa induce variation in gamete motility
BackgroundFertilization is an event at the beginning of ontogeny. Successful fertilization depends on strategies for uniting female and male gametes...

Antioxidative Effect of Selenium in Cadmium-Exposed Tardigrade (H. exemplaris)
On a daily basis, aquatic ecosystem is exposed to heavy metals, drugs, and chemicals; the continuous exposure results in a toxic effect, depending on...
