Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) regulate a large number of fundamental cellular processes and are involved in many pathological diseases. They share complex oligomerization and phosphorylation properties allowing them to interact and modulate the activity of many client proteins. Here, the up-to date protein interactome of the ten human sHsps is presented as an illustration of their multiple cellular functions. In addition of forming homo-oligomers, some of these proteins interact whith each other and form hetero-oligomeric complexes that could bear new protein targets recognition abilities. Here, novel informations are presented on how the formation of HspB1/HspB5 complex can stimulate the activity of the oxidoresistance promoting enzyme glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase through its interaction with newly formed highly phosphorylated HspB1 homo-oligomers.

Climate models simulate a wide range of temperatures in the Arctic. Here we investigate one of the main drivers of changes in surface temperature: the net surface heat flux in the models. We show that in the winter months of the dark Arctic, there is a more than two-fold difference in the net surface heat fluxes among the models, and this difference is dominated by the downward infrared radiation from clouds.

The design of electrically conductive textiles appears to be a promising approach to combat the existing challenge of deaths caused by severe cold climates around the globe. However, reports on the scalable fabrication of tolerant conductive textiles maintaining a low electrical resistance with an ability for unperturbed and prolonged performance are scarce. Here, a breathable and wrappable water-repellent conductive textile (water-repellent CT) with electrothermal and photothermal conversion abilities at low external voltage and in weak solar light is introduced, respectively.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, posing a significant threat to human health. Although immunotherapy has shown promise in cancer treatment, its efficacy is often compromised by tumor immune evasion, which hinders treatment outcomes. Therefore, combining immunotherapy with other therapeutic approaches to enhance its effectiveness has become an increasingly accepted strategy in clinical practice.

Heat stress significantly impacts global rice production, highlighting the critical need to understand the genetic basis of heat resistance in rice. U2AF (U2 snRNP auxiliary factor) is an essential splicing complex with critical roles in recognizing the 3'-splice site of precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). The U2AF small subunit (U2AF35) can bind to the 3'-AG intron border and promote U2 snRNP binding to the branch-point sequences of introns through interaction with the U2AF large subunit (U2AF65).
