Thirty years ago biologists discovered that cells defend themselves from heat damage by producing a group of specialized proteins. These protective molecules have now been shown to play an important role in helping cells withstand a broad range of assaults, from disease to toxins. Exploring this mechanism may provide new ways to combat infection, autoimmune disease and even cancer.
