A comparative ultrastructure study of the tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus in the hydrated state, after desiccation and during the process of rehydration.

This study compares the ultrastructure of Ramazzottius varieornatus during hydration, desiccation, and rehydration, revealing differences in anhydrobiosis mechanisms compared to Hypsibius exemplaris.

Two distinct mechanisms lead to either oocyte or spermatocyte decrease in C. elegans after whole developmental exposure to gamma-rays

This study shows that gamma-ray exposure in C. elegans leads to distinct mechanisms causing oocyte and spermatocyte decrease, with apoptosis affecting oocytes and a separate mechanism affecting spermatocytes.
