Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are conserved molecular chaperones that are upregulated
following exposure to environmental stress and during aging. The mechanisms underlying …

We assessed the impact of repeated episodes of a mild heat stress on lifespan, fecundity,
heat stress resistance and Hsp70 expression in Drosophila melanogaster. There was a …

The possibility of gerontomodulation through hormesis is rooted in the idea of making use of
the fundamental characteristic of living systems, that is, the ability of self-maintenance and …

Many studies have described the positive effect of food restriction on aging and longevity in
rodents as well as a genetic pathway activated in response to starvation in nematodes and …

The linear no-threshold (LNT) premise for environmental agents is assessed in the context
of the habitats of organisms where exposure to a multiplicity of environmental agents occurs …

Chaperones are phylogeneticaliy conserved proteins involved in the proper folding of
nascent proteins and repair of damaged or misfolded proteins. They are ubiquitously …
