The p53 tumor suppressor is stabilized and activated by diverse stress signals. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of p53 activation by heat shock. We found that heat shock inhibited p53 ubiquitination and caused accumulation of p53 at the post-transcriptional level. Heat shock induced phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15 in an ATM kinase-dependent fashion, which may contribute partially to heat-induced p53 accumulation. However, p53 accumulation also occurred after heat shock in ATM-deficient cells. Heat shock induced conformational change of wild type p53 and binding to hsp90. Inhibition of hsp90-p53 interaction by geldanamycin prevented p53 accumulation partially in ATM-wild type cells and completely in ATM-deficient cells. Therefore, phosphorylation and interaction with hsp90 both contribute to stabilization of p53 after heat shock.

Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown cause. Natural improvement with favorable outcome is common, but a significant number of patients present with difficult to manage and progressive disease. The identification of biomarkers associated with disease activity and progression is warranted.

High-temperature stress, also referred to as heat stress, often has detrimental effects on plant growth and development. Phytochromes have been implicated in regulating plant heat stress responses, but the role of blue-light receptors, such as cryptochromes, in plant blue light-dependent heat stress response has remained unclear. We found that the blue light receptor cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) negatively regulates heat stress tolerance (thermotolerance) in Arabidopsis.

Background: The endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) has been involved in various musculoskeletal disorders including non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (NT-ONFH).
Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the association of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) as well as CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) expressions in serum and femoral head (FH) tissues with NT-ONFH's severity.
Methods: We enrolled NT-ONFH patients (n = 150) alongside healthy controls (HCs, n = 150).

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high incidence and mortality rates, with severe prognoses during invasion and metastasis stages. Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, the impact of the tumour microenvironment, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, on CRC progression and metastasis is not fully understood.
Methods: This study included 107 CRC patients.

Cotton is essential for the global textile industry however, climate change, especially extreme temperatures, threatens sustainable cotton production. This research aims to identify breeding strategies to improve heat tolerance and utilize stress-resistant traits in cotton cultivars. This study investigated heat tolerance for 50 cotton genotypes at the seedling stage by examining various traits at three temperatures (32 °C, 45 °C and 48 °C) in a randomized plot experiment.
