Colistin is an antibiotic of last resort, but has poor efficacy and resistance is a growing problem. Whilst it is well established that colistin disrupts the bacterial outer membrane (OM) by selectively targeting lipopolysaccharide (LPS), it was uncl

Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) was originally identified as a master regulator of the classical ‘cytoprotective’ heat shock response. However, a large body of evidence has now verified the importance of HSF1 to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. H
