Induced thermotolerance to apoptosis in a human T lymphocyte cell line

Abstract excerpt

A brief exposure to elevated temperatures elicits, in all organisms, a transient state of increased heat resistance known as thermotolerance. The mechanism for this thermotolerant state is unknown primarily because it is not clear how mild hyperthermia leads to cell death. The realization that cell death can occur through an active process of self destruction, known as apoptosis, led us to consider whether...
