Now, researchers have used Tardigrade proteins to fix this. ā DNA shielded from radiation damage ā Cancer cells still get destroyed ā No more brutal side effects Beyond cancer, this tech could mean radiation-proof astronauts & protection from nuclear exposure. š Tardigrades are tiny creatures, 0.1-1.5 mm long. Theyāre famous for surviving extreme conditions that would obliterate most lifeforms.
