Hengherr S, Schill R, Clegg J
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol . 2011 Jun; 160(2):137-42. PMID: 21664479
Using differential scanning calorimetry we demonstrated the presence of biological glasses and measured the glass transition temperatures (Tg) in dry encysted gastrula embryos (cysts) of the brine shrimp, Artemia, from...

Hengherr S, Schill R, Clegg J
Physiol Biochem Zool . 2011 Apr; 84(3):249-57. PMID: 21527815
Using differential scanning calorimetry, we demonstrated the presence of biological glasses and measured the transition temperatures in dry encysted embryos (cysts) of the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana. Cysts from the...

Welnicz W, Grohme M, Kaczmarek L, Schill R, Frohme M
J Insect Physiol . 2011 Mar; 57(5):577-83. PMID: 21440551
The current state of knowledge about anhydrobiosis in tardigrades is presented. In response to adverse environmental conditions tardigrades arrest their metabolic activity and after complete dehydration enter the so-called "tun"...

Hengherr S, Schill R
J Insect Physiol . 2011 Mar; 57(5):595-601. PMID: 21439966
Freshwater invertebrates often disperse between discrete habitat patches via the production of dormant propagules. Being dispersed passively by animal vectors or wind, certain adaptations for exposures to terrestrial and aerial...

Mali B, Grohme M, Forster F, Dandekar T, Schnolzer M, Reuter D, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2010 Mar; 11:168. PMID: 20226016
Background: The phenomenon of desiccation tolerance, also called anhydrobiosis, involves the ability of an organism to survive the loss of almost all cellular water without sustaining irreversible damage. Although there...

Schokraie E, Hotz-Wagenblatt A, Warnken U, Mali B, Frohme M, Forster F, et al.
PLoS One . 2010 Mar; 5(3):e9502. PMID: 20224743
Background: Tardigrades are small, multicellular invertebrates which are able to survive times of unfavourable environmental conditions using their well-known capability to undergo cryptobiosis at any stage of their life cycle....

Reuner A, Hengherr S, Mali B, Forster F, Arndt D, Reinhardt R, et al.
Cell Stress Chaperones . 2009 Nov; 15(4):423-30. PMID: 19943197
Semi-terrestrial tardigrades exhibit a remarkable tolerance to desiccation by entering a state called anhydrobiosis. In this state, they show a strong resistance against several kinds of physical extremes. Because of...

Forster F, Liang C, Shkumatov A, Beisser D, Engelmann J, Schnolzer M, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2009 Oct; 10:469. PMID: 19821996
Background: Tardigrades represent an animal phylum with extraordinary resistance to environmental stress. Results: To gain insights into their stress-specific adaptation potential, major clusters of related and similar proteins are identified,...

Schill R, Mali B, Dandekar T, Schnolzer M, Reuter D, Frohme M
Biotechnol Adv . 2009 May; 27(4):348-52. PMID: 19472511
Certain organisms found across a range of taxa, including bacteria, yeasts, plants and many invertebrates such as nematodes and tardigrades are able to survive almost complete loss of body water....

Neumann S, Reuner A, Brummer F, Schill R
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol . 2009 Apr; 153(4):425-9. PMID: 19361569
In order to recover without any apparent damage, tardigrades have evolved effective adaptations to preserve the integrity of cells and tissues in the anhydrobiotic state. Despite those adaptations and the...
