Abstract
Temperature-sensitive proteins would enable the remote control of cellular functions deep within tissues, although few such proteins have been characterized. Melt is a protein that reversibly clusters and translocates to the membrane in response to small temperature changes, enabling flexible regulation of cellular processes in vitro and in vivo.
