Stress-dependent cell stiffening by tardigrade tolerance proteins that reversibly form a filamentous network and gel.

Stress-dependent cell stiffening by tardigrade tolerance proteins that reversibly form a filamentous network and gel.

Tardigrades are able to tolerate almost complete dehydration by entering a reversible ametabolic state called anhydrobiosis and resume their animation upon rehydration. Dehydrated tardigrades are exceptionally stable and withstand various physical extremes. Although trehalose and late embryogenesis...
