Three quite different things that matter to me.

TL;DR: I'm grateful to be asked to comment on cell biology and the next 50 years and to focus on just three quite different things that particularly matter to me.

Abstract P6-15-06: Heat Shock Protein 90 Inhibition Limits the Emergence of Tamoxifen Resistance

TL;DR: In conclusion, inhibition of the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is examined as an alternative approach to targeting ER function, one that could be used in combination with Tam to prevent resistance and provide more durable disease control and provide a strong pre-clinical rationale for evaluating combined Tamoxifen- Hsp90 inhibitor treatment in patients.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Abstract C132: Targeting heat shock factor 1 improves the antitumor efficiency of hyperthermia.

TL;DR: It is found that inhibiting HSF1 in solid tumors increases the efficiency of hyperthermia as an anticancer treatment, and targeting heat shock factor 1 improves the antitumor efficiency ofhyperthermia.

Transient Hsp90 suppression promotes a heritable change in protein translation

TL;DR: The role of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) chaperone functions as a protein-folding buffer and plays a unique role promoting the evolution of new heritable traits as mentioned in this paper.
