Individual Cells Activate Their Own Heat-shock Response But Turn It Off When In A Collective

High temperatures are detrimental to cellular processes so all cells have response reactions that help mitigate damage. These responses can be detrimental to cellular proliferation though. For this reason, multicellular organisms turn off this native behavior and coordinate the heat shock response from a macroscopic perspective. The individual cells are still capable of initiating the response when isolated.
