Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) play a pivotal role in the regulation of plant responses to elevated temperatures and other abiotic stresses. These regulatory proteins modulate the ...

Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) is a pivotal transcription factor that orchestrates the cellular response to proteotoxic and various other forms of stress. By regulating a comprehensive transcriptional ...

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 ...

The mRNA metabolism passively shapes the levels of an mRNA modification called m6A within a steady-state cell and upon stress.

By creating artificial aging in mice, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been able to track the formation of ...

Increasing low-level moisture will push heat index values into the 97° to 101° range, raising heat stress concerns through the weekend and into early next week.
