Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play cytoprotective activities under pathological conditions
through the initiation of protein folding, repair, refolding of misfolded peptides, and possible …

Asthma is characterized by the association of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR),
inflammation, and remodelling. The aim of the present article is to review the pivotal role of …

Marine crustaceans are influenced by numerous environmental factors. Environmental
stress from pollutants seems to affect their metabolism, growth, moulting, survival, and …

The small heat shock proteins (HSPs) HSP20, HSP27 and αB-crystallin are chaperone
proteins that are abundantly expressed in smooth muscles are important modulators of …

Motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are neurodegenerative disorders that specifically affect the
survival and function of upper and/or lower motor neurons. Since motor neurons are …

Growth is one of the most crucial economic traits of all aquaculture species, but the
molecular mechanisms involved in growth of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are …

Investigations undertaken over the past years have led scientists to introduce the concept of
protein quality control (PQC) systems, which are responsible for polypeptide processing …

Small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) are ubiquitous ATP-independent molecular chaperones
that play crucial roles in protein quality control in cells. They are able to prevent the …

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), as ubiquitous molecular chaperones found in all forms
of life, are known to be able to protect cells against stresses and suppress the aggregation of …

The 10S self-inhibited monomeric conformation of myosin II has been characterized
extensively in vitro. Based upon its structural and functional characteristics, it has been …
