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 ...

Heat stroke is a life-threatening illness characterized by an elevated core body temperature that rises above 40°C and central nervous system dysfunction that results in delirium, convulsions, or ...

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 ...

A heat shock protein protects the cells against protein clumping. It degrades, however, over longer treatment periods. Plasmas are used, for example, in wound treatment against pathogens that are ...

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.

Mild electrical stimulation with heat shock attenuates renal pathology in adriamycin-induced nephrotic syndrome mouse model. Scientific Reports , 2020; 10 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-75761-8 Cite ...

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are involved in regulation of androgen receptor function, making them targets for therapeutic modulation in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
