Objective: To test the hypothesis that microwave hyperthermia treatment (MHT) increases heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the human vastus lateralis muscle. Methods: Four untrained healthy male volunteers ...

Heat shock protein (Hsp)20 has been recently shown to protect cardiomyocytes against apoptosis, induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury or by prolonged β-agonist stimulation. However, it is not clear ...

Background—Heat-shock protein 70 (HSP 70) plays a role in myocardial protection. No studies are available, however, to show that direct gene transfer of HSP 70 reduces myocardial infarction in vivo.

IbpA, a protein that partakes in the heat shock response in Escherichia coli bacteria, serves more functions than previously thought, as revealed by scientists at Tokyo Tech. Through in-depth experime ...

Pharmacologic Targeting of the C-Terminus of Heat Shock Protein 90 Improves Neuromuscular Function in Animal Models of Charcot Marie Tooth X1 Disease Sukhmanjit Kaur ...

While being produced in a large quantity during infection, viral proteins often require the assistance from cellular chaperones for proper folding. In this study, we found that heat shock protein A6 ...

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) has been involved in cancer malignant behaviors. However, its role and mechanism in multi-drug resistance of ovarian cancer remains poorly understood. Our results ...
