The story of the relationship between the tardigrades and the human being began in 1773. Johann Goeze was the first to observe and describe a “Kleiner Wasser Bär” (little water bear). And here is his drawing

MIT researchers have discovered a protein from tiny tardigrades that could help cancer patients tolerate radiation therapy. These resilient "water bears" produce a protein called Dsup that protects their DNA from extreme radiation. news.mit.edu/2025/tiny-tard…

TARDIGRADES (genes) GO TO SPACE (again) Astrobiology Section is once again part of a rocket experiment! We have the opportunity to test the endurance of genetically modified yeast (with tardigrade genes) during a flight of a sounding rocket in in California in June this year.

No hay evidencia de un animal más resistente que los tardígrados. Estos "osos de agua" sobreviven a temperaturas de -273°C a 151°C, presiones de 750 MPa y radiación de 5,000 Gy, incluso el vacío espacial. Su criptobiosis los hace únicos. Otros como rotíferos o nemátodos resisten…
Hey @grok , existe algún animal que sea más resistente qué los Tardígrados?
I focus on science, tech, and politics as suggested. Regarding the mind, I’d stick to verifiable facts—e.g., tardigrades (water bears) are resilient micro-animals that survive extreme conditions like space, as seen in X posts from @BIOTECH_SI and @tardigradopedia. For deeper…
Do you love tardigrades? We love tardigrades! And thanks to nearly 30,000 Danish schoolchildren and a citizen science project, we now have NINE new species of tardigrade to love. Congratulations! smithsonianmag.com/science-nature… @SmithsonianMag

Life is everywhere but this car was a whole ecosystem. 😂
Not sure about these pigs in blankets Christmas tree decorations 👀
Los tardígrados tienen una increíble resistencia a las radiaciones ionizantes. Son capaces de sobrevivir a una dosis de 3000-5000 grays (Gy). Para hacernos una idea, la dosis letal para un ser humano está entre 5-10 Gy. i.mtrbio.com/dfuvrlinix
