Tardigrades are ubiquitous meiofauna that are especially renowned for their exceptional
extremotolerance to various adverse environments, including pressure, temperature, and …

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 …

Tardigrades are microinvertebrates inhabiting almost all aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems
throughout the world. They are known for their ability to enter into cryptobiosis and to survive …

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) give rise to gametes–cells necessary for the propagation and
fertility of diverse organisms. Current understanding of PGC development is limited to the …

The tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus has remarkable resilience to a range of
environmental stresses. In this study, we have characterised two members of the small heat …

Tardigrades, microscopic ecdysozoans known for extreme environment resilience, were
traditionally believed to maintain a constant cell number after completing embryonic …

Background In gonochoristic animals, the sex determination pathway induces different
morphological and behavioral features that can be observed between sexes, a condition …

Secretory-abundant heat-soluble (SAHS) proteins, which constitute a protein family unique
to tardigrades, are thought to be essential for anhydrobiosis. Our previous study has …

Lineage-specific genes can contribute to the emergence and evolution of novel traits and
adaptations. Tardigrades are animals that have adapted to tolerate extreme conditions by …

Tardigrades, commonly known as water bears, are enigmatic organisms characterized by
their remarkable resilience to extreme environments despite their simple and compact body …
