DOI: 10.1002/2211-5463.12926
Abstract: The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris can undergo anhydrobiosis. Several chemicals that inhibit successful anhydrobiosis in H. exemplaris have been identified, and these chemicals inhibit the activity of signaling molecules. In the present study, we investigated whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9589
Abstract: Abstract Climate change threatens biodiversity in a range of ways, including changing animal body sizes. Despite numerous examples of size declines related to increasing temperatures, patterns of size change are not universal, suggesting that one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pro.4288
Abstract: When exposed to desiccation stress, extremotolerant organisms from all domains of life produce protective disordered proteins with the potential to inform the design of excipients for formulating biologics and industrial enzymes. However, the mechanism(s) of… read more here.
