Mitochondrial alternative oxidase contributes to successful tardigrade anhydrobiosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Anhydrobiosis can be described as an adaptation to lack of water that enables some organisms, including tardigrades, to survive extreme conditions, even some that do not exist on Earth.

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.

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.

Cas9-mediated genome editing reveals a significant contribution of calcium signaling pathways to anhydrobiosis in Pv11 cells [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Pv11 is an insect cell line established from the midge Polypedilum vanderplanki, whose larval form exhibits an extreme desiccation tolerance known as anhydrobiosis.

Long-term anhydrobiosis in two taxa of moss dwelling Eutardigrada (Tardigrada) desiccated for 12 and 15 years, respectively [PDF]
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 Full understanding of long-term cryptobiosis, including anhydrobiosis, could contribute to many areas, from biology and biotechnology to industry, pharmacy and medicine. Anhydrobiosis has been reported in a few groups of micrometazoans such as nematodes,

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 ...

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.
