Molecular strategies of the Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larva to survive extreme desiccation.

Molecular strategies of the Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larva to survive extreme desiccation.

Massive water loss is a serious challenge for terrestrial animals, which usually has fatal consequences. However, some organisms have developed means to survive this stress by entering an ametabolic state called anhydrobiosis. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are poor...
