A novel role for glycogen synthase during heat stress
Pratibha Bhadauriya, Akanksha Onkar and colleagues highlight a novel role for glycogen synthase (GS) in regulating autophagy during heat stress via heat shock factor 1 in neuronal cells. Moreover, they show that GS-mediated glycogen metabolism is not only a reservoir of energy but an active molecular player in heat stress responses.
How we support early-career researchers
