A new study from UNC Charlotte’s Truman Lab has been published in Nature Communications, offering a deeper understanding of how cells respond to heat-induced stress. The paper, “Mechanosensor-mediated Hsp70 phosphorylation orchestrates the landscape of the heat shock response,” examines a novel key regulatory mechanism that rapidly activates the cellular defense to heat shock. “This study reveals a […]

The latest issue of ASBMB Today features a cover illustration by American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology member Megan Mitchem, titled “The Timekeepers of Proteostasis,” exploring this process. “Proteins shape the passage of time in this molecular hourglass. Just like snowflakes, each protein is highly unique,” Mitchem said. “Each flake here is formed by […]
