Although heat shock proteins (HSPs) primarily play a pivotal role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis while reducing extracellular as well as intracellular stresses, their role in immunologically relevant scenarios, including activation of innate immunity as danger signals, antitumor immunity, and autoimmune diseases, is now gaining much attention. The most prominent feature of HSPs is that they function both in their own and as an HSP-ligand complex. We here show as a unique feature of extracellular HSPs that they target chaperoned molecules into a particular endosomal compartment of dendritic cells, thereby inducing innate and adaptive immune responses via spatiotemporal regulation.

In Populus simonii, the N-terminal acetyltransferase subunit gene PsiNAA20 was induced by salt stress and osmotic stress and regulates root development. The spatiotemporal specificity of PsiNAA20-interacting gene expression and translation efficiency suggested dual functions in poplar root development under salt stress and osmotic stress.

Metal fatigue, characterized by the accumulation of dislocation defects, is a prevalent failure mode in structural materials. Nondestructive early-stage detection of metal fatigue is extremely important to prevent disastrous events and protect human life. However, the lack of a precise quantitative method to visualize fatigue with spatiotemporal resolution poses a significant obstacle to timely detection.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency in cells, is dynamically regulated across different subcellular compartments. The ATP interplay between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) underscores their coordinated roles in various biochemical processes, highlighting the necessity for precise profiling of subcellular ATP dynamics. Here we present an exogenously and endogenously dual-regulated DNA nanodevice for spatiotemporally selective, subcellular-compartment specific signal amplification in ATP sensing.

Tumor initiation represents the first step in tumorigenesis during which normal progenitor cells undergo cell fate transition to cancer. Capturing this process as it occurs in vivo, however, remains elusive. Here we employ spatiotemporally controlled oncogene activation and tumor suppressor inhibition together with multiomics to unveil the processes underlying oral epithelial progenitor cell reprogramming into tumor initiating cells at single cell resolution.

Focal adhesions (FAs) are force-bearing multiprotein complexes, whose nanoscale organization and signaling are essential for cell growth and differentiation. However, the specific organization of FA components to exert spatiotemporal activation of FA proteins for force sensing and transduction remains unclear. In this study, we unveil the intricacies of FA protein nanoarchitecture and that its dynamics are coordinated by a molecular scaffold protein, BNIP-2, to initiate downstream signal transduction for cardiomyoblast differentiation.
