Tardigrades: Superheroes and sleeping beauties

Izabela Poprawa , Małgorzata Kłoskowicz

Abstract

Tardigrades (water bears), tiny invertebrates found in wet and humid environments, are often referred to as indestructible animals that are not afraid of very high or extremely low temperatures, prolonged droughts, or even exposure to cosmic rays. For years, scientists have been studying what is behind this remarkable resistance and whether there is really nothing that could harm them.
