The functions of mammalian testis are temperature-sensitive. There are various testicular factors, which express in response to heat as a mechanism of defence. PGC-1α and HSP70 have poetical role in the protection from oxidative stress in various tissues, including testis. The expression of PGC-1α and HSP70 has been shown in the testis, and it has also been documented that heat modulates the expression of PGC-1α and HSP70. However, heat-dependent changes in the localisation and expression of PGC-1α have not been investigated so far. Thus, we studied the expression and localisation pattern of PGC-1α in the testis of heat-treated mice along with marker of proliferation (PCNA, GCNA), serum testosterone levels, MDA levels and HSP70. The results showed a significant increase in PGC-1α and HSP70 and MDA levels in the testis of heat-treated mice along with a decrease in PCNA, GCNA and serum testosterone levels. The immunolocalisation study showed intense immunostaining of PGC-1α in the Leydig cell and germ cells of the heat-treated testis, with pronounced damaged in the histoarchitecture. The results showed that increase expression of PGC-1α in germ cells and Leydig cells of testis could be a counter mechanism to cope up with oxidative stress in coordination with HSP70.

Nanoplastic (NP) pollution poses serious health hazards to aquatic ecosystems, impacting various physiological systems of aquatic organisms. This review examines the complex interplay between NPs and different physiological systems. In the digestive system, NPs downregulate the hsp70-like gene in Mytilus galloprovincialis, leading to decreased metabolic processes and impaired digestion.

Understanding the interaction between nanomaterials and cellular structures is crucial for nanoparticle applications in biomedicine. We have identified a subtype of stress granules, called nanomaterial-provoked stress granules (NSGs), induced by gold nanorods (AuNRs). These NSGs differ from traditional SGs in their physical properties and biological functions.

The effect of on the viability and antimicrobial activity of the ectoparasitoid was evaluated in laboratory experiments. Two lines of the parasitoid, -infected (W+) and -free (W-), were used. Parasitoid larvae were fed with a host orally infected with a sublethal dose of (Bt) and on the host uninfected with Bt.

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).

Hsp70, Hsp90, and ClpB/Hsp100 are molecular chaperones that help regulate proteostasis. Bacterial and yeast Hsp70s and their cochaperones function synergistically with Hsp90s to reactivate inactive and aggregated proteins by a mechanism that requires a direct interaction between Hsp90 and Hsp70 both in vitro and in vivo. and yeast Hsp70s also collaborate in bichaperone systems with ClpB and Hsp104, respectively, to disaggregate and reactivate aggregated proteins and amyloids such as prions.
