Tardigrade protein works in human cells - Cray - 09-21-2016
"...the University of Tokyo-led team found a protein that protects [tardigrades'] DNA - wrapping around it like a blanket. The scientists, who published their findings in the journal Nature Communications, went on to grow human cells that produced that same protein, and found that it protected those cells too."
