This study compares gamma radiation tolerance between desiccation-sensitive and desiccation-tolerant tardigrades, finding that desiccation-sensitive species have lower radiation tolerance.

This study identifies sex-biased genes and DMRT paralogs in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus, revealing insights into sexual dimorphism and stress tolerance mechanisms.

This study develops a method to generate homozygous gene-edited tardigrades using DIPA-CRISPR, enabling in vivo analysis of extreme stress tolerance mechanisms.

The paper compares the genomes of two tardigrade species to investigate their evolutionary relationships and mechanisms of extreme survival.
