Ribonucleoprotein condensates (RNP condensates)

Life on Mars will face extreme stresses, including powerful shock waves and chemically harsh soil. Researchers have studied how a model organism responds to these Mars-like conditions and found that it can survive by reorganizing its cellular machinery.

Yeast survives Mars-like conditions

Shock waves and perchlorates activated an RNA interference-based stress mechanism in cells that helped them survive in laboratory experiments.
