After a lengthy period of head-scratching and asking around I couldn't get a satisfactory answer to my question. The Question? Oh yeah..the question. Does anyone know if the production of HSPs is the only examples of a biological pathway that is 'kicked' into action as a direct response to an external heat stimulus? .
