Atherosclerosis is a chronic, multifactorial disease that starts in youth, manifests clinically
later in life, and can lead to myocardial infarction, stroke, claudication, and death. Although …

The highly conserved heat-shock proteins (HSPs) from mammals and microbial reagents
are among the immunogenic proteins. Their expression is induced in response to a wide …

In response to stress stimuli, mammalian cells activate an ancient signaling pathway leading
to the transient expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs). HSPs are a family of proteins …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the artery wall, and both innate and
adaptive immunity play important roles in the pathogenesis of this disease. In several …

Studies aimed at elucidating the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the initiation and
progression of human atherosclerosis have emphasized the central role of inflammatory and …

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) belong to a group of highly conserved families of proteins
expressed by all cells and organisms and their expression may be constitutive or inducible …

Recent evidence indicates that infections or a pathogen burden contribute to the
development and progression of atherosclerosis. While the mechanism of infection …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a highly conserved group of proteins that are constitutively
expressed and function as molecular chaperones, aiding in protein folding and preventing …

Hallmarks of inflammation in various cardiovascular diseases, notably atherosclerosis, have
been observed for a long time. However, evidence for an (auto) antigen-driven process at …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are present in most cells, serving as molecular chaperones, and
they play a role in cell protection from damage in response to stress stimuli. However …
