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 …

Emerging evidence indicates that heat shock proteins (HSPs) are critical regulators in
normal neural physiological function as well as in cell stress responses. The functions of …

Publisher Summary The goal of this chapter is to clarify the diversity within the heat shock
proteins (sHsps) family and to describe evidence indicating that sHsps have many different …

Though the ischemic penumbra has been classically described on the basis of blood flow
and physiologic parameters, a variety of ischemic penumbras can be described in molecular …

Background Investigations following stroke first of all require information about the spatio-
temporal dimension of the ischemic core as well as of perilesional and remote affected …

Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) protects cultured motor neurons from the toxic effects of
mutations in Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD-1), which is responsible for a familial form of …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved and under physiological conditions act as
molecular chaperones and/or have anti-apoptotic activities. Expression in the brain of two …

Purpose To examine immunostaining of 60-kd and 27-kd heat shock proteins (HSP 60 and
HSP 27), which are known to increase cell survival in response to stress, in glaucomatous …

Background and Purpose—Edema formation after intracerebral hemorrhage has been
linked to thrombin toxicity induced by the clot. However, thrombin at low concentrations …

The heat shock protein (HSP) 27 is constitutively expressed at low levels in medium-sized
lumbar dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells in adult rats. Transection of the sciatic nerve results …
