Heat stress activates ER stress signals which suppress the heat shock response, an effect occurring preferentially in the cortex in rats
Although heat stress induces a variety of illnesses, there have been few studies designed to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlining the illnesses. We here demonstrate that heat activates ER stress, which...
