Annual Review of Physiology, 1992
We believe we have established the major principles governing the stabilization of living cells in the unique condition known as anhydrobiosis. These findings have permitted us to design ways to stabilize membrane vesicles, liposomes, and proteins, and perhaps eventually even intact cells that do not normally survive dehydration.

Anhydrobiosis: Inside yeast cells
Biotechnology Advances, 2019Under natural conditions yeast cells as well as other microorganisms are regularly subjected to the influence of severe drought, which leads to their serious dehydration. The dry seasons are then changed by rains and there is a restoration of normal water potential inside the cells.

Anhydrobiosis without trehalose in bdelloid rotifers [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2003 Eukaryotes able to withstand desiccation enter a state of suspended animation known as anhydrobiosis, which is thought to require accumulation of the non‐reducing disaccharides trehalose (animals, fungi) and sucrose (plants), acting as water replacement molecules and vitrifying agents.

Anhydrobiosis in tardigrades—The last decade
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2011The current state of knowledge about anhydrobiosis in tardigrades is presented. In response to adverse environmental conditions tardigrades arrest their metabolic activity and after complete dehydration enter the so-called "tun" state. In this ametabolic state they are able to tolerate exposure to various chemical and physical extremes.

Anhydrobiosis in bacteria: From physiology to applications
Journal of Biosciences, 2011 Anhydrobiosis is a phenomenon related to the partial or total desiccation of living organisms, keeping their vital functions after rehydration. The desiccated state in prokaryotes has been widely studied, mainly due to the broad spectrum of the anhydrobiosis applications.

Anhydrobiosis: A strategy for survival
Advances in Space Research, 1992Many organisms from a wide variety of taxa have the ability to survive extreme dehydration, a phenomenon called "anhydrobiosis." Concomitantly with resistance to the adverse effects of drying, these organisms are also resistant to the effects of freezing to very low temperatures, elevated temperature for brief periods, and the effects of ionizing ...

ANHYDROBIOSIS INCREASES SURVIVAL OF TRICHOSTRONGYLE NEMATODES
Journal of Parasitology, 2006This study demonstrates that infective-stage larvae of 2 trichostrongyle ruminant gastrointestinal nematodes, Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis, can enter into anhydrobiotic states when completely desiccated. Larvae of control trichostrongyle species, Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, that infect mice ...

THE ROLE OF VITRIFICATION IN ANHYDROBIOSIS
Annual Review of Physiology, 1998▪ Abstract Numerous organisms are capable of surviving more or less complete dehydration. A common feature in their biochemistry is that they accumulate large amounts of disaccharides, the most common of which are sucrose and trehalose. Over the past 20 years, we have provided evidence that these sugars stabilize membranes and proteins in the dry ...

Trehalose, anhydrobiosis for the eye
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2010Abstract Purpose To determine whether topically applied trehalose could heal ocular surface epithelial disorders caused by ocular surface desiccation. Methods This study used a novel murine model of dry eye induced by continuous controlled low‐humidity air velocity in an intelligently controlled environmental system.

Anhydrobiosis of Adineta ricciae: Costs and Benefits
Hydrobiologia, 2005To study the effect of anhydrobiosis on the rotifer life cycle, we dried a bdelloid species, Adineta ricciae, and determined the life-history traits of 1) the rehydrated animals and 2) the offspring produced after a period of dormancy. In the first experiment, a cohort was dried when 8-days-old, kept dry for 7 days and then rehydrated.
