ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Tardigrades withstand ionizing irradiation levels â¼500 times higher than humans can tolerate. Two recent papers shed light on how this might be achieved - via the transcriptional induction of DNA repair genes, the induction of a radioprotective DNA-binding protein, and possibly also the heightened capacity of repair proteins.
