Diffusion Science radio: Tardigrades to the Moon!
Summary
MP3 A deep dive into the science of tardigrades - the tiny water bears or moss piglets that can withstand extremes of cold, heat, dryness, pressure, and vacuum, by going into suspended animation and then revitalising when its safe again - from whom we can learn ways to improve our own health. Produced and hosted by Ian Woolf How the secrets of the ‘water bear’ could improve lifesaving drugs like insulin Tardigrades (Water Bears) Why are tardigrades, those chubby little water bears, nearly indestructible?
