Four families of heat shock proteins (Hsps), including the small heat shock proteins (sHsps),
Hsp70, Hsp90 and Hsp60, are synthesized under normal physiological conditions and in …

Heat-shock protein concentrations in the blood increase after exposure to a variety of
stressors, including trauma and psychological stress. Although the physiological function of …

As populations worldwide show increasing levels of stress, understanding emerging links
among stress, inflammation, cognition, and behavior is vital to human and planetary health …

Background Shrimp culture is a fast growing aquaculture sector, but in recent years there
has been a shift away from tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon to other species. This is largely …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are robustly induced by diverse stressors that denature proteins.
In addition to stress resistance, Hsps are involved in the folding of nascent proteins, plant …

Background Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine-rich, metal-binding protein that can be
induced by a variety of agents. Modulation of MT levels has also been shown to alter specific …

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone that plays key
roles in the folding, maintenance of structural integrity and regulation of a subset of cytosolic …

Ocean acidification (OA) can shift the ecological balance between interacting organisms. In
this study, we have used a model system to illustrate the interaction between a calcifying …

Background High ambient temperatures cause stress in poultry, especially for broiler lines,
which are genetically selected for rapid muscle growth. RNA-seq technology provides …

Achieving control of metastatic disease is a long-sought goal in cancer therapy. Treatments
that encourage a patient's own immune system are bringing new hopes in reaching such a …
