Does the membrane's physical state control the expression of heat shock and other genes?
TLDR
Recent data show that the expression of several genes, particularly those that respond to changes in temperature, ageing or disease, is influenced and/or controlled by the membrane's physical state.About:

The interaction between bacteria and bile
TL;DR: The antimicrobial actions of bile are described, the variations in bile tolerance between bacterial genera are assessed and the relationship between bile and virulence is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of plant desiccation tolerance.
TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the mechanism of anhydrobiosis include the downregulation of metabolism, dehydration-induced partitioning of amphiphilic compounds into membranes and immobilization of the cytoplasm in a stable multicomponent glassy matrix.

Interaction of Cardiovascular Risk Factors with Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury, Preconditioning, and Postconditioning
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to show the potential for developing cardioprotective drugs on the basis of endogenousCardioprotection by pre- and postconditioning and to review the evidence that comorbidities and aging accompanying coronary disease modify responses to ischemia/reperfusion and the cardiop Rotection conferred by preconditioning and post conditioning.

Functional rafts in cell membranes
Kai Simons,Elina Ikonen +1 more
TL;DR: A new aspect of cell membrane structure is presented, based on the dynamic clustering of sphingolipids and cholesterol to form rafts that move within the fluid bilayer that function as platforms for the attachment of proteins when membranes are moved around inside the cell and during signal transduction.

Thermal adaptation in biological membranes: is homeoviscous adaptation the explanation?
TL;DR: HV A has emerged as the most commonly employed paradigm to assess the efficacy of thermal adaptation in biological membranes and to explain patterns of temperature-induced change in membrane lipid composi-

Overexpression of the rat inducible 70-kD heat stress protein in a transgenic mouse increases the resistance of the heart to ischemic injury.
Michael S. Marber,Ruben Mestril,Shun-Hua Chi,M. R. Sayen,Derek M. Yellon,Wolfgang H. Dillmann +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested for the first time that increased myocardial hsp 70i expression results in protection of the heart against ischemic injury and that the antiischemic properties of hsp70i have possible therapeutic relevance.

CHILLING SENSITIVITY IN PLANTS AND CYANOBACTERIA: The Crucial Contribution of Membrane Lipids
Ikuo Nishida,Norio Murata +1 more
TL;DR: This review covers recent studies on genetic manipulation of acyl-lipid desaturases and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase in transgenic tobacco and cyanobacteria with special emphasis on the crucial importance of the unsaturation of membrane lipids in protecting the photosynthetic machinery from photoinhibition under cold conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The protein kinase C-activated MAP kinase pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mediates a novel aspect of the heat shock response.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the heat-induced signal for pathway activation is generated in response to weakness in the cell wall created during growth under thermal stress, perhaps as a result of increased membrane fluidity.
