Hyperthermia, a cancer treatment using controlled heat to kill tumor cells, shows promise but faces limitations due to some tumor cells' unexpected heat resistance. Researchers from Japan have now ...

Heat-induced increase of membrane fluidity is suppressed by cholesterol, preventing membrane disruption. Thus, cholesterol-rich cells are resistant to heat-induced necrosis, and cholesterol depletion ...

New research performed with mice suggests that daily time in a warm environment such as a sauna might help older adults, especially women, combat age-related obesity and insulin resistance. The study ...

Steam may be more powerful than you think. It smooths clothes and kills germs, but now doctors are testing it against cancer. At Keck Medicine of USC, part of a large nationwide study, researchers are ...

Heat treatment of advanced materials, particularly those used in high-performance supercar components, demands precise control over temperature, atmosphere, and process timing. The Carbolite HTCRMA ...

Last summer was the hottest in 2,000 years, according to a study published in Nature. We're still a few days from the official start of summer, and the heat is already reaching dangerous levels around ...
