Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone involved in the stabilization of many oncoproteins that are required for the acquisition and maintenance of the so-called six major hallmarks of cancer cells. Various strategies have, therefore, ...

Thioredoxin fold proteins (TFPs) form a family of diverse proteins involved in thiol/disulfide exchange in cells from all domains of life. Leptospirillum spp. are bioleaching bacteria naturally exposed to extreme conditions ...

Objective Fetal and postnatal zinc deficiencies induce an increase in arterial blood pressure and impair renal function in male adult rats. We therefore hypothesized that these renal alterations are present in early stages ...
