DNA Protection Protein, a Novel Mechanism of Radiation Tolerance: Lessons from Tardigrades
Life, 2017 Genomic DNA stores all genetic information and is indispensable for maintenance of normal cellular activity and propagation. Radiation causes severe DNA lesions, including double-strand breaks, and leads to genome instability and even lethality ...

Microinjection of dsRNA in Tardigrades [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2018 Classical genetic analysis in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris is a challenge because these animals are parthenogens. The publication of the H. exemplaris genome has facilitated the study of targeted genes by RNA interference (RNAi), a robust mechanism to disrupt gene function. This protocol describes microinjection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in

Limno-terrestrial Tardigrada of the Nearctic Realm
Journal of Limnology, 2007 We examined all available records of limno-terrestrial tardigrade distribution in the Nearctic realm (Greenland, Canada, Alaska, the continental United States of America, and northern Mexico), both to compare this fauna with other realms and to ...

Aquatic tardigrades in Poland – a review
Limnological Review, 2021 Abstract The diversity, distribution and ecology of aquatic Tardigrada in Poland remain poorly known. We reviewed the literature focused on tardigrades in Poland and recognized only 15 aquatic taxa which were reported from various freshwater and marine habitats. Among them, 12 are freshwater and three are marine taxa. Hypsibius dujardini

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Micro‐ and nanorobots for targeted thrombolysis. This perspective elaborates on the clinical indication of blood clot disorders and current limitations for treatment. As a novel, alternative solution, micro‐ and nanorobots can be used to treat and break down thrombi.

Tardigrades and their emergence as model organisms
, 2022 Experimentally tractable organisms like C. elegans, Drosophila, zebrafish, and mouse are popular models for addressing diverse questions in biology. In 1997, two of the most valuable invertebrate model organisms to date – C. elegans and Drosophila – were found to be much more closely related to each other than expected. C.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.
