"Reviving Ancient Worms: 46,000-Year-Old Nematodes Brought Back to Life"
TL;DR Summary
Scientists have revived 46,000-year-old nematodes found in the Siberian Permafrost, including a previously undescribed species called Panagrolaimus kolymaensis. The nematodes exhibit survival mechanisms similar to the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, suggesting that they have developed ways to preserve life over geological time periods. This research could inform conservation strategies in the face of global warming.
