Heat shock protein (Hsp)90 is a chaperone with essential roles in maintaining transformation and in elevating the survival and growth potential of cancer cells. The recognition of Hsp90 as an important target in cancer therapy has prompted the identification, development and clinical translation of a large array of Hsp90 inhibitors. This review discusses the modalities that may interfere with this chaperone's function and describes the status of existing and emerging Hsp90 inhibitor classes.

Oil palm () yield is impacted by abiotic stresses, leading to significant economic losses. To understand the core abiotic stress transcriptome (CAST) of oil palm, we performed RNA-Seq analyses of oil palm leaves subjected to drought, salinity, waterlogging, heat, and cold stresses. A total of 19,834 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified.

The cellular stress response (CSR) is a conserved mechanism that protects cells from environmental and physiological stressors. The heat shock response (HSR), a critical component of the CSR, utilizes molecular chaperones to mitigate proteotoxic stress caused by elevated temperatures. We hypothesized that while the canonical HSR pathways are conserved across cell types, specific cell lines may exhibit unique transcriptional responses to heat shock.

Dissecting the mechanisms underlying heat tolerance is important for understanding how plants acclimate to heat stress. Here, we identify a heat-responsive gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION 16 (RDM16), which encodes a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Knockout mutants of RDM16 are hypersensitive to heat stress, which is associated with impaired splicing of the mRNAs of 18 out of 20 HEAT SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR (HSF) genes.
