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 ...

1. Tardigrades are microscopic creatures with many nicknames. The name Tardigrade means “slow moving” and refers to their bear-like crawling movement. Their movement and appearance has also gi ...

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 ...

The strangely adorable and resilient tardigrade, or water bear, just might hold the key to making cancer treatment a lot more (water-) bearable. That’s because a team of researchers just found ...

Tardigrades are able to use at least five different responses to various types of environmental stress. They are all grouped ...

That, in turn, gave them a ballpark estimate for when cryptobiosis evolved in different types of tardigrades. "By knowing how these fossils are related to living tardigrades, we can use them 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
