Temperature is one facet in the mosaic of physical and biotic factors that describes the niche
of an animal. Ofthe physical factors it is ecologically the most important. for it is a factor that is …

Publisher Summary The chapter focuses on the physiological response of microorganisms,
both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, to stresses. Organisms respond to a mild temperature shock …

The use of hyperthermia as a cancer therapy, especially in combination with radiation, has
attracted increased attention in the past decades (Overgaard 1985, Sugahara and Saito …

1. The costs of conditioning adult Drosophila melanogaster with a mild thermal stress that
activates the genes for heat-shock proteins were examined by comparing the number of …

The 25-kD inhibitor of actin polymerization (25-kD IAP), isolated from turkey smooth muscle
(Miron, T., M. Wilchek, and B. Geiger, 1988. Eur. J. Biochem. 178: 543-553), is shown here to …

This book focuses on heat shock response-an active yet transient reprogramming of cellular
activities to the needs of a stress protection mechanism designed to minimize heat damage …

Unlike normal tissues, cancers experience profound alterations in protein homeostasis.
Powerful innate adaptive mechanisms, especially the transcriptional response regulated by …

The heat shock response is a highly conserved “stress response” mechanism used by cells
to protect themselves from potentially damaging insults. It often involves the upregulated …

Exposure of the excised growing region of the mesocotyl of young corn seedlings to heat
shock stimulated the production of specific heat shock proteins and the intensification of …

The effect of prior heat shock on the thermal resistance of Listeria monocytogenes in meat
was investigated. A sausage mix inoculated with approximately 10 (7) L. monocytogenes …
