Coral bleaching under thermal stress: putative involvement of host/symbiont recognition mechanisms.

2 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Coral bleaching can be defined as the loss of symbiotic zooxanthellae and/or their photosynthetic pigments from their cnidarian host. This major disturbance of reef ecosystems is principally induced by increases in water temperature. ... Read more...

Nucleophosmin redistribution following heat shock: a role in heat-induced radiosensitization.

26 Jul 2009 Cellular survival from radiation-induced DNA damage requires access to sites of damage for the assembly of repair complexes and the subsequent repair, particularly the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSB). Hyperthermia causes changes in ... Read more...

Hsp27 associates with the titin filament system in heat-shocked zebrafish cardiomyocytes.

2 Jul 2009 Injury to muscle tissue plays a central role in various cardiovascular pathologies. Overexpression of the small heat shock protein Hsp27 protects muscle cells against thermal, oxidative and ischemic stress. However, underlying mechanisms of this ... Read more...
