The preferential translation of Drosophila hsp70 mRNA requires sequences in the untranslated leader

TL;DR: It is found that the hsp70 message is not translated at high temperatures when its leader sequence is deleted, and the specific feature responsible for the preferential translation of heat-shock messages must reside in the 5' untranslated leader.

The Reprogramming of Tumor Stroma by HSF1 Is a Potent Enabler of Malignancy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report that the transcriptional regulator heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is frequently activated in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), where it is a potent enabler of malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The hypothesis that [PSI+] is a mechanism to increase survival in fluctuating environments and might function as a capacitor to promote evolvability is supported.
