## BACKGROUND. The clinical value of heat-induced coagulation of prostatic tissue is evaluated as a minimally invasive treatment for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and, more recently, localized prostate cancer (PC). To obtain a more detailed insight on the effect of heat on prost

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Several embryonic stages (nuclear multiplication stage up to blastoderm) were incubated at 37°C. The 84,000 dalton heat‐shock protein was always present in the heat‐shocked embryos at all these stages. This protein was also found in nonheat‐shocked controls. Different amounts of two other heat‐shock proteins, the 70,000 and 68,000 daltons, were synthesized depending upon the embryonic stage. A massive synthesis of these two later proteins was observed in embryos which were able to recover from the heat‐shock.

## Abstract The induction of heat shock proteins by heat shock is classically defined as the heat shock response, which is involved in cytoprotection, inflammation and immune responses. Whereas the cytoprotective properties of heat shock have been well characterized, the immunomodulating roles of t
## Abstract Heat‐shocked __Xenopus__ embryos have an unusually complex heat shock response. The dominant heat shock protein (Hsp) has a relative molecular mass (__M__~r~) of 62,000 D (Hsp62). Affinity‐purified IgGs against the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase (PK; EC 2.7.1.40) specifically immunop
We employed whole-mount in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to study the spatial pattern of hsp30 gene expression in normal and heatshocked embryos during Xenopus laevis development. Our findings revealed that hsp30 mRNA accumulation was present constitutively only in the cement gland of
The influence of cell hydration and taurine on the heat shock response was studied in primary rat hepatocytes. Heat-induced accumulation of inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) mRNA and protein was increased under hypoosmotic conditions. In contrast, hyper-osmotic exposure blocked the HSP70 respo
