Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) and Her2 in Adenocarcinomas of the Esophagus [PDF]
Her2 overexpression and amplification can be found in a significant subset of esophageal adenocarcinomas. The activity of Her2 has been shown to be modulated by molecular chaperones such as HSP90. We analyzed expression/amplification data for HSP90 and Her2 on 127 primary resected esophageal adenocarcinomas in order to evaluate a possible relationship ...

Heat shock proteins HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUNDHeat shock proteins (HSPs) are synthesized by cells in response to various stress conditions, including carcinogenesis. The expression of HSPs in neoplasia has been implicated in the regulation of apoptosis, and HSPs also can act by increasing immunity. In the current study, the authors attempted to clarify the significance of HSPs in

Comparison of heat-shock responses between the hydrothermal vent shrimp Rimicaris exoculata and the related coastal shrimp Palaemonetes varians [PDF]
The deep-sea vent shrimp Rimicaris exoculata is believed to occur at the hot end of the hydrothermal biotope in order to provide essential elements to its epibiosis. Because it is found close to hot venting water, R.

Innovative approaches to monitor mutant huntingtin and to facilitate its degradation in Huntington's disease models [PDF]
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a dominant genetic neurodegenerative disease caused by a mutation in the exon 1 of the huntingtin gene. The clinical symptoms, such as motor disturbances (chorea), cognitive decline and psychiatric impairments are usually ...

Heat stress induces expression of HSP genes in genetically divergent chickens. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Chickens are animals that are sensitive to thermal stress, which may decrease their production level in terms that it affects feed intake and thus, decreasing body weight gain.

Targeting HSP90 as a Novel Therapy for Cancer: Mechanistic Insights and Translational Relevance
Heat shock protein (HSP90), a highly conserved molecular chaperon, is indispensable for the maturation of newly synthesized poly-peptides and provides a shelter for the turnover of misfolded or denatured proteins. In cancers, the client proteins of HSP90
