Exactly my thoughts. But wait till you hear what they did by entering tardigrade DNA into bacterial plasmids to make them not able to be killed by heat 🙃
I suspect the big advantage is that we can still physically remove the unkillable cancer cells. Like removing tardigrades from people - and then putting the cancerous cells on the moon.
It's surprisingly refreshing to hear someone else say Tardigrades are their favorite creature as well!!! Most of the time when I say it the other person has no clue what they are..

I just love the way she talks about science. The sound of her voice. The way she articulates her words. How enthusiastic and excited she gets when talking. So much fun to listen to.
One of the main characters on the TV series "The Ark" is a clone who has tardigrade genes in her DNA, specifically to increase her radiation resistance for space travel.
You’d probably like “The 100”, then. It’s discovered in season 2 or 3 (there are 7 seasons) that the reason the 100 who were sent down to see if earth is liveable 100 years after intense radiation and basically the apocalypse are able to survive the radiation that still lingers in the air is because 1: They were raised in space, so their bodies have adjusted to the chemicals that were put into their air on the massive space station that they lived in (also called the Ark), therefore making their bodies adjust and grow stronger to survive natural radiation. 2: The grounders (survivors who have been on earth for all of those 100 years) have Tardigrade cells/genes in their DNA, letting them survive natural radiation too.
Maybe… but in that case we’d likely look to increase the radiation in that sort of treatment or also look to operations yo remove the tumours if possible. 🙃
Tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets, are microscopic, water-dwelling animals known for their remarkable resilience. Here are some key points about them: ### Characteristics - **Size**: Typically measure between 0.3 to 0.5 mm in length. - **Body Structure**: They have a segmented body and eight legs, each with claws. - **Habitat**: Found in a variety of environments, including soil, mosses, lichens, and even deep-sea sediments. ### Resilience - **Extreme Conditions**: Tardigrades can survive extreme temperatures, from just above absolute zero to over 300°F (149°C). - **Desiccation**: They can withstand dehydration by entering a state called cryptobiosis, effectively suspending their metabolism and allowing them to survive without water for years. - **Radiation and Pressure**: They can endure high levels of radiation and extreme pressure, making them one of the toughest known organisms. ### Importance - **Scientific Research**: Their resilience makes them a subject of interest in studies related to extremophiles, astrobiology, and potential applications in medicine and biotechnology. - **Ecosystem Role**: Tardigrades play a role in nutrient cycling and are part of the micro-ecosystem in their habitats. Overall, tardigrades are fascinating creatures that highlight the diversity and adaptability of life on Earth. 🙏🤗
They’re so cool cos they have this protection shield from radiation, but they also have great protection for freezing!!! Their cells pull the water out of the cell so it doesn’t damage everything with the ice… very cool evolution right here!!!
Dude, they skipped like all the basic survival adaptations to be supernova proof while they are sleeping, they have like all the unnecessary adaptions while none of the necessary ones. They are far from perfect.
No it’s like the worst survival creature ever. It’s useless and shit. What’s the point of being able to survive without air water or food if a SNAIL can fill you by the thousands. They are NOT resilient against anything that will ever have a chance to kill them.
I love how they are called in German. They're called "Bärtierchen" and it literally translates to this "Bear-little-animals(?)" Cause they look like little bears :3
You were close! It translates to that literally, but in reality it translates to “little bear animals” 🙃. I love the german language. Need a new word? Combine two or three that already exist lol! There’s literally a word meaning “a face in need of slapping” (Backpfeifengesicht)

Let’s say we do transfer the dsup cells into a human and how the human is less prone to being damaged by radiation. What happens to those same cells if they were to get cancer ? Will radiation treatments not work due to the cell being protected from radiation? Would it create a super cancer?

Fun fact: Bats also have a form of radiation resistance because of the extra checkpoints in there cellular reproduction as well as a healing factor that doesn’t disgrace as fast as other animals. This is also why rabies doesn’t kill them.
