Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have reconciled two closely related but contentious mechanisms underlying ...

For a decade, scientists have believed that plants sense temperature mainly through specialized proteins, and mainly at night ...

Activation of heat shock gene transcription by heat shock factor 1 involves oligomerization, acquisition of DNA-binding activity, and nuclear localization and can occur in the absence of stress ...

Therefore, heat induces transmitted phenotypes through a coordinated epigenetic network comprising transcription factors, tasiRNAs, and histone demethylases, ensuring both reproductive success and ...

eLife Assessment This study reports an important finding on the mechanism underlying the enhancement of anti-viral immune responses by febrile temperatures, especially the role of the conserved ...

Reviewer #2 (Public Review): Rubio et al. study the behavior of the transcription factor Hsf1 under ethanol stress, examining its distribution within the nucleus and the coalescence of heat shock ...

Hsf transcription factors, particularly HsfA2, regulate key downstream genes under heat stress. Actin, essential for maintaining cellular stability, also plays a role in stress responses.

Hsf transcription factors, particularly HsfA2, regulate key downstream genes under heat stress. Actin, essential for maintaining cellular stability, also plays a role in stress responses.

“Heat is a stress, and our bodies adapt to stress when we’re exposed repeatedly,” said William Adams, a kinesiologist at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.

Genetics Biochem Plant Science References 1) Heat-shock transcription factor HsfA8a regulates heat stress response in Sorbus pohuashanensis. Published 26th July, 2024 Journal: Planta Issue: Vol 260, ...

Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) play a critical role in plants' responses to heat stress and other environmental challenges. Despite extensive research on HSFs in various plant species, their ...

Among these genes, Heat Shock Factor emerged as a focus of interest testes due to the testes' sensitivity to heat stress, given their external positioning, which maintains a temperature 3-4 ...
