  "summary": "Tardigrades survive extreme environmental stress by expressing intrinsically disordered proteins that stabilize cellular structures during cryptobiosis. Because these proteins protect cells from desiccation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage, they have attracted interest as potential therapeutics to enhance stress resilience in other organisms. However, most studies have relied on cultured cells…",
