Phylogenetic and functional characterization of water bears (Tardigrada) tubulins [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Tardigrades are microscopic ecdysozoans that can withstand extreme environmental conditions. Several tardigrade species undergo reversible morphological transformations and enter into cryptobiosis, which helps them to survive periods of unfavorable ...
