- This $306,783 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research by Appalachian State University to study the mechanism by which tardigrade-specific proteins can protect biomolecules from temperature-induced damage. The project aims to understand how tardigrades, also known as water bears, survive elevated temperatures, which could enable the development of more robust formulations for commercial...
- This $366,624 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research between Marshall University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing cryptobiosis in tardigrades. Cryptobiosis refers to the unique ability of tardigrades, also known as water bears, to enter a suspended animation state called a "tun" that allows them to survive extreme environmental stressors. The investigators will combine proteomics,...
