Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is becoming more and more obvious that growth and development of all living organisms is tightly link to their abiotic and biotic ecological units. All individuals have to deal with their physical and chemical environment to grow, sometimes when conditions are not favorable, they might organize reparation of damages, survival and/or some cells death in order to preserve the organism. Some stress response mechanisms are ubiquitous like response to heat shock or to ionizing radiation, some are particular to a taxon or even to a species but could be of great interest for the whole scientific community to discover new response strategies. This special issue is aiming to present original results or reviews on molecular aspects of stress responses in biology.
