Mendillo's research uncovers new regulators of HSF1 linked to cancer resilience and progression. HSF1 induces heat shock response and a gene expression program supporting cancer cells' survival and spread.
JMJD6, identified as an HSF1 activity mediator, creates a positive feedback loop enhancing HSF1 activation through regulating HSP70 gene expression. This mechanism enables quick response to stress.
