Tardigrade specific proteins are types of intrinsically disordered proteins specific to tardigrades. These proteins help tardigrades survive desiccation, one of the adaptations which contribute to tardigrade's extremotolerant nature. Tardigrade specific proteins are strongly influenced by their environment, leading to adaptive malleability ...
Tardigrades possess a cold shock protein; Maria Kamilari and colleagues propose (2019) that this may serve "as a RNA-chaperone involved in regulation of translation [of RNA code to proteins] following freezing." [26] Tardigrade DNA is protected from radiation by the Dsup ("damage suppressor") protein. [30]

Tardigrades are affectionately known as water bears or moss piglets and are tiny invertebrates measuring a maximum of 0.05 inches in length. Viewed through a microscope, they look a little like a ...
Dsup (contraction of damage suppressor) is a DNA-associating protein, unique to the tardigrade, [1] that suppresses the occurrence of DNA breaks by radiation. [2] [3] When human HEK293 cells were engineered with Dsup proteins, they showed approximately 40% more tolerance against X-ray radiation.
Chinese military scientists believe the tardigrade’s cells improve a human's ability to withstand radiation and potentially other diseases.
Anhydrobiosis in the tardigrade Richtersius coronifer. Anhydrobiosis is the most studied form of cryptobiosis and occurs in situations of extreme desiccation.The term anhydrobiosis derives from the Greek for "life without water" and is most commonly used for the desiccation tolerance observed in certain invertebrate animals such as bdelloid rotifers, tardigrades, brine shrimp, nematodes, and ...
In case you didn’t know: aiming for 20 to 30 grams of protein at each meal is ideal for keeping you full and energized. (And, FYI, experts recommend spacing out your protein intake across ...
