HEAT SHOCK GETS A CHILL.

Investigates the response of heat shock protein (HSP) on notothenoid fish by researchers from Santa Barbara, California. Significance of the cellular protection system in providing different species protection against the catastrophic effects of heat damage; Reasons behind failure of the researchers to elicit a heat shock response after exposing the liver cells extracted from the fish to stressful conditions; Use of HSP to protect the fish from the permanent threat of cold protein damage in its natural habitat on the icy waters around Antarctica.
