Since the time of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, cancer has been recognized as being sensitive to heat. Today, this principle forms the basis of hyperthermia treatment—a promising cancer ...

Hyperthermia, a cancer treatment using controlled heat to kill tumor cells, shows promise but faces limitations due to some tumor cells' unexpected heat resistance. Researchers from Japan have ...

Researchers have discovered that some cancer cells ­-even those from the same organ-react differently to heat shock, with some surprisingly more heat-resistant than others.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that microwave hyperthermia treatment (MHT) increases heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the human vastus lateralis muscle. Methods: Four untrained healthy male volunteers ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 22, entitled, "Tat-heat shock protein 10 ameliorates ...

Japan's heat shock accidents rise in winter months. One expert warns of the potentially deadly risks of sudden temperature changes, particularly entering a hot bath on a cold day.

These findings provide valuable insight into the role of heat shock proteins, which we now know are at a higher level among advanced prostate cancer patients and associated with worse outcomes.
