Plants have the largest number of small heat shock proteins (sHsps) (15–42 kDa) among eukaryotes, but little is known about their function in vivo. They accumulate in response to different stresses, and specific sHsps are ...

The importance of HSPs themselves in antigen presentation and cross-presentation remains controversial. Most studies agree that as part of their molecular chaperone function, HSPs can bind and present tumor associated ...

Heat shock protein (HSP) synthesis is switched on in a remarkably wide range of tumor cells, in both experimental animal systems and in human cancer, in which these proteins accumulate in high levels. In each case, elevated ...

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la expresión de las HSPs en mandarinas Satsuma Okitsu con diferentes índices de color (IC) a cosecha sometidos a tratamiento de desverdizado y posterior conservación frigorífica, ...

Hull soluble polysaccharide (HSPS) is a novel product consisting in a mixture of polysaccharides and proteins extracted from soy hulls by using a methodology based on the extraction of citric pectins. In this work we studied ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an anti-tumor treatment administered for the elimination of early-stage malignancies and the palliation of symptoms in patients with late-stage tumors, which involves the activation of a ...

Many oncogenic agents/events generate in cancer cells stress-responsive proteins, also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs). These proteins are implicated in the genesis as well as in the progression of cancer; the small ...
