The current state of knowledge about anhydrobiosis in tardigrades is presented. In response
to adverse environmental conditions tardigrades arrest their metabolic activity and after …

Planarians are a group of flatworms. Some planarian species have remarkable regenerative
abilities, which involve abundant pluripotent adult stem cells. This makes these worms a …

Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) are a basally branching phylum that harbours a wealth of
fascinating biology, including planarians with their astonishing regenerative abilities and the …

Regenerative abilities vary dramatically across animals. Even amongst planarian flatworms,
well-known for complete regeneration from tiny body fragments, some species have …

Background Many tardigrade species are capable of anhydrobiosis; however, mechanisms
underlying their extreme desiccation resistance remain elusive. This study attempts to …

Among the tardigrades, distinguishing between species from the 'hufelandi group'and
between species from genus Milnesium is based primarily on morphological data. These are …

Background The phenomenon of desiccation tolerance, also called anhydrobiosis, involves
the ability of an organism to survive the loss of almost all cellular water without sustaining …

Tardigrades have unique stress-adaptations that allow them to survive extremes of cold,
heat, radiation and vacuum. To study this, encoded protein clusters and pathways from an …

Limno-terrestrial tardigrades are small invertebrates that are subjected to periodic drought of
their micro-environment. They have evolved to cope with these unfavorable conditions by …

Tardigrades have fascinated researchers for more than 300 years because of their
extraordinary capability to undergo cryptobiosis and survive extreme environmental …
