Red-edge position of habitable exoplanets around M-dwarfs
Scientific Reports, 2017 One of the possible signs of life on distant habitable exoplanets is the red-edge, which is a rise in the reflectivity of planets between visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths.

A sustainable culture of tardigrades (Hypsibius dujardini) for astrobiological laboratory activities [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Tardigrades are microscopic organisms that have gained importance in astrobiology in recent years. They have extreme survival ability and can enter into a state of latency for several years called cryptobiosis.
