Plants alter their morphology and cellular homeostasis to promote resilience under a variety
of heat regimes. Molecular processes that underlie these responses have been intensively …

An increase in temperature and extreme heat stress is responsible for the global reduction in
maize yield. Heat stress affects the integrity of the plasma membrane functioning of …

The multifaceted role of biological membranes prompted early the development of artificial
lipid-based models with a primary view of reconstituting the natural functions in vitro so as to …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a large family of molecular chaperones aberrantly
expressed in cancer. The expression of HSPs in tumor cells has been shown to be …

Nowadays we understand cell membranes not as a simple double lipid layer but as a
collection of complex and dynamic protein–lipid structures and microdomains that serve as …

Plants constantly face fluctuating ambient temperatures and must adapt to survive under
stressful conditions. Temperature affects many aspects of plant growth and development …

The heat-shock response, one of the main pro-survival mechanisms of a living organism,
has evolved as the biochemical response of cells to cope with heat stress. The most well …

To draw the complete picture of plant thermal signaling, it is important to find the missing
links between the temperature cue, the actual sensing, and the subsequent response. In this …

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and
Huntington's disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and prion diseases are all …

It has long been established that hyperthermia increases the therapeutic benefit of radiation
and chemotherapy in cancer treatment. During the last few years there have been …
