Diversity, 2022 Anhydrobiosis is induced by loss of water and indicates dehydration tolerance. Survival of dehydration is possible through changes at different levels of organism organization, including a remarkable reduction in metabolic activity at the cellular level.

How long can tardigrades survive in the anhydrobiotic state? A search for tardigrade anhydrobiosis patterns. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Anhydrobiosis is a desiccation tolerance that denotes the ability to survive almost complete dehydration without sustaining damage. The knowledge on the survival capacity of various tardigrade species in anhydrobiosis is still very limited.

Deciphering the Biological Enigma—Genomic Evolution Underlying Anhydrobiosis in the Phylum Tardigrada and the Chironomid Polypedilum vanderplanki [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Anhydrobiosis, an ametabolic dehydrated state triggered by water loss, is observed in several invertebrate lineages. Anhydrobiotes revive when rehydrated, and seem not to suffer the ultimately lethal cell damage that results from severe loss of water in ...

Transcriptome analysis of the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris exposed to the DNA-damaging agent bleomycin [PDF]
Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and Biological SciencesTardigrades are microscopic animals that are renowned for their capabilities of tolerating near-complete desiccation by entering an ametabolic state called anhydrobiosis.

Recovery from anhydrobiosis in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus experimentalis: Better to be young than old and in a group than alone [PDF]
HeliyonDesiccation-tolerant organisms can survive dehydration in a state of anhydrobiosis. Tardigrades can recover from anhydrobiosis at any life stage and are considered among the toughest animals on Earth.

The phenomenon of anhydrobiosis—structural and functional changes in yeast cells [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and BiotechnologyAnhydrobiosis is a phenomenon that involves the ability of microorganisms to survive in an environment of virtually complete dehydration. Yeast cells in anhydrobiosis exhibit several structural and functional changes.

Possible roles of CAHS proteins from Tardigrade in osmotic stress tolerance in mammalian cells [PDF]
Cell Structure and FunctionAnhydrobiosis, a phenomenon in which organisms survive extreme dehydration by entering a reversible ametabolic state, is a remarkable example of survival strategies. This study focuses on anhydrobiosis in tardigrades, which are known for their resilience

Anhydrobiosis and programmed cell death in plants: Commonalities and Differences
Current Plant Biology, 2015 Anhydrobiosis is an adaptive strategy of certain organisms or specialised propagules to survive in the absence of water while programmed cell death (PCD) is a finely tuned cellular process of the selective elimination of targeted cell during ...

Microorganisms, 2022 Anhydrobiosis is the ability of selected organisms to lose almost all water and enter a state of reversible ametabolism. Such an organism dries up to a state of equilibrium with dry air.
