A protein conserved from bacteria to human protects against heat stroke

Researchers at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) in Barcelona have discovered that the LSM-1 protein protects Caernorhabditis elegans against heat stroke. These worms are used as animal model research. Only animals that have a larger amount of this protein survive a drastic temperature rise. The group led by Julian Ceron in IDIBELL specializes in
