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 ...

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,

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.ABSTRACT Platelet transfusions to treat bleeding complications use donor‐derived platelets stored at room‐temperature, that have a shelf‐life of only 5–7 days due to bacterial contamination risks. Cold‐stored and freeze‐dried platelets are being investigated for extending shelf‐life, but these still have the inherent challenge of donor‐dependency.

Consensus on future research directions in the phylum Rotifera
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation.

At the Edge of Survival: Exploring the Frontiers of Tardigrade Extreme Stress Tolerance
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.ABSTRACT Tardigrades possess extraordinary resilience to extreme environmental conditions, including near‐complete desiccation, severe levels of radiation, the vacuum of space and extreme sub‐zero temperatures. Despite significant interest in their survival strategies, the molecular mechanisms underlying their survival during extreme stresses have ...

Shaped by context: Evolutionary trajectories of desiccation tolerance in land plants
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Desiccation tolerance (DT), the ability to survive near‐complete cellular dehydration, is widespread in diaspores but rare in the vegetative tissues of land plants. The patchy and punctuated phylogenetic distribution of vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) suggests that the trait is both ancient and recurrent, yet the evolutionary ...
