• Experiences with dormancy in tardigrades (2004, background): “Entering anhydrobiosis, tardigrades contract their body into a so-called tun, loosing most of their free and bound water (>95%), synthesizing cell protectants (e.g., trehalose, glycerol, heat shock proteins; Westh & Ramlov 1991; Ramlov & Westh 2001 ) and strongly reducing or suspending their metabo”
• Anhydrobiosis: the extreme limit of desiccation tolerance (2007, background): “De novo synthesis of a protein with a molecular weight of about 71 kDa, maybe belonging to the Hsp70 family, has been found during the entrance into anhydrobiosis in R. coronifer (Ramløv and Westh, 2001).”
