At the Edge of Survival: Exploring the Frontiers of Tardigrade Extreme Stress Tolerance [PDF]
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 ...
