Hyperthermia treatment, in conjunction with standard therapies, has been found to yield favorable results. With rapid advancement in the research for the development and synthesis of superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNP), Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH) has established itself as a promising platform for therapeutic intervention in malignant tumors. However, the development of reliable and effective numerical models is a domain that demands extensive research to accurately evaluate the dosimetric data of SPMNP to be infused, its mass transfer to and distribution within the analyzed domain, its cytotoxic effects on biological systems, generated heat flux under the influence of an Alternating magnetic field (AMF), rise in temperature and heat transfer within the tissue and lastly, the resultant damage caused to both malignant and adjoining healthy tissues. With this backdrop, one cannot overemphasize the role of modelling, and <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> experiments involving MFH. For accurate characterization of MFH and effective treatment outcome estimation, it is important to take into consideration the salient tissue-specific physiological parameters. All these physiological parameters, which in general have non-linear behavior are of prime important in forecasting treatment outcomes and its damage potential to the adjoining healthy tissue, which in turn ensures the acceptability of the treatment as a mainstream clinical procedure. This article presents an in-depth review of the available various biocompatible SPMNPs and their injection strategies, and heating capacity under the influence of an AMF. It also discusses the different classical Fourier law-based bio heat transfer models that are used for numerical study to predict the temperature profile of the ROI, their dependency on various bio-physical parameters of the tissue as well as magneto-physical parameters of the SPMNPs and AMF, and the capability of the models to reliably estimate tissue damage. The hindrances faced by the treatment procedures towards converting MFH into mainstream clinical trials is also discussed with a futuristic vision of integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning approach towards optimizing the MFH parameters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thermal biology","volume":"133 ","pages":"Article 104284"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145222126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within HA research, an area of growing interest is examination of subcellular adaptations that contribute to whole-body acclimation, such as changes to/within mitochondria. External heat stress alters molecular pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and bioenergetic function, but the relationship between these alterations and whole-body HA adaptations remains relatively unknown. Therefore, this review provides a detailed examination of the impact of HA on mitochondria across cell models, rodent models, and humans, linking these changes to exercise performance.

Understanding the physiological mechanisms underlying thermal resilience is essential to predict species responses and mitigate biodiversity loss. This study investigates the role of dopamine (DA) and its related receptors in mediating thermal tolerance and regulating life history traits in <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>. Using wild-type Canton-S flies, we exposed adults to repeated acute thermal stress—daily 1-h cold (15 °C) or heat (35 °C) shocks for five to seven days—alongside a control group maintained at 25 °C. We assessed survival, fecundity, developmental time, adult emergence, and sex ratio. DA levels, measured by HPLC, significantly increased under heat stress and declined under cold exposure, suggesting its involvement in thermal response signaling. To further explore receptor-specific roles, we examined dopaminergic receptor mutants in Dop1R1, Dop1R2, Dop2R, DopEcR under the same thermal conditions described above. Our findings reveal that deficiencies in specific DA receptors markedly influenced survival and reproduction under thermal stress. For instance, Dop1R2 mutants exhibited high fecundity but poor survival under heat shock, while DopEcR mutants showed reduced fecundity under both cold and heat stress without affecting survival. Dop1R1 and Dop2R mutants exhibited developmental delays under thermal stress, indicating their contribution to life cycle regulation. These findings highlight dopaminergic signaling as a critical modulator of thermal adaptation, with implications for understanding how neurophysiological plasticity may buffer or limit insect resilience to future climate variability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thermal biology","volume":"133 ","pages":"Article 104285"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145199406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals of each species were acclimated to five temperatures (16, 19, 22, 25, and 28 °C) before CT<sub>max</sub> determination. Both species exhibited significant increases in CT<sub>max</sub> with higher acclimation temperatures, but <em>N. taylori</em> consistently maintained higher CT<sub>max</sub> values (<em>F</em><sub><em>4</em></sub> = 11.14, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001) and a greater acclimation response ratio (ARR = 0.50) compared to <em>N. maydeni</em> (ARR = 0.36). The thermal safety margin (TSM) declined with increasing acclimation temperature in both species (<em>F</em><sub><em>4</em></sub> = 408.60, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001), though <em>N. taylori</em> retained a larger thermal buffer (<em>F</em><sub><em>1</em></sub> = 7.21, <em>p</em> = 0.01). Body size and condition changed during captivity, but these factors did not influence their thermal tolerance. Results indicate <em>N. taylori</em> may be more resilient to acute warming events than <em>N. maydeni</em>, though its restricted range and habitat specialization could limit behavioral mitigation options under sustained warming. These findings underscore the importance of integrating physiological and ecological data when assessing climate vulnerability in imperiled freshwater fishes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thermal biology","volume":"133 ","pages":"Article 104295"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145318489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
