| - | + | Tardigrades (Ramazzottius varieornatus, informally known as water bears, are viewed as the most resilient organisms on the planet. They have the capability to shut down metabolic processes and undergo anydrobiosis, a dehydrated state in which they can exist even in the vacuum of space. One of the secrets to their success may be 5xn9, a secreted heat soluble protein. The protein shields organelles and extracellular components during dehydration to improve desiccation tolerance and prevent crystallization. | |
