Heat shock 70 kDa proteins (HSP70s) are ubiquitous molecular chaperones that function in
a myriad of biological processes, modulating polypeptide folding, degradation and …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones produced in response to oxidative
stress (OS). These proteins are involved in the folding of newly synthesized proteins and …

The human heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family contains at least eight homologous
chaperone proteins. Endoplasmatic reticulum and mitochondria have their specific Hsp70 …

For a long time necrosis was considered as an alternative to programmed cell death,
apoptosis. Indeed, necrosis has distinct morphological features and it is accompanied by …

The heat shock response, characterized by increased expression of heat shock proteins
(Hsps) is induced by exposure of cells and tissues to extreme conditions that cause acute or …

How a cell responds to stress is a central problem in cardiovascular biology. Diverse
physiological stresses (eg, heat, hemodynamics, mutant proteins, and oxidative injury) …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) have been studied for many years and there is now a large body
of evidence that demonstrates the role of Hsp upregulation in tissue and cell protection in a …

Unlike the early phase of preconditioning (PC), which lasts 2 to 3 hours and protects against
infarction but not against stunning, the late phase of PC lasts 3 to 4 days and protects …

Heat-shock proteins are produced in response to different types of stress conditions making
cells resistant to stress-induced cell damage. Under normal conditions, heat-shock proteins …

Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is a member of the vertebrate HSF family that
regulates stress-inducible synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs). Although the synthesis of …
