Dying while Dry: Kinetics and Mechanisms of Deterioration in Desiccated Organisms

Persistence of anhydrous organisms in nature may depend on how long they remain viable in dry environments. Longevity is determined by interactions of humidity, temperature, and unknown cellular factors that affect the propensity for damaging reactions. Here we describe our research to elucidate tho...
