Cells are repeatedly exposed to environmental or endogenous stresses that can alter
normal cell behavior and increase cell vulnerability. In order to ensure tissue integrity and …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are an evolutionary family of proteins that act as molecular
chaperones. According to their size they have been classified into the following families; …

The 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) family of molecular chaperones represents one of
the most ubiquitous classes of chaperones and is highly conserved in all organisms …

In all organisms, heat-shock proteins (HSPs) provide an ancient defense system. These
proteins act as molecular chaperones by assisting proper folding and refolding of misfolded …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs), also known as molecular chaperones, participate in important
cellular processes, such as protein aggregation, disaggregation, folding, and unfolding …

Tau protein, found in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells, forms aggregates in neurons
that constitutes one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). For nearly four decades …

Light is known to induce retinal damage affecting photoreceptors and retinal pigment
epithelium. For polychromatic light, the blue part of the spectrum is thought to be the only …

HSP70 is a chaperone that accumulates in the cells after many different stresses promoting
cell survival in response to the adverse conditions. In contrast to normal cells, most cancer …

The heat shock protein (Hsps) superfamily, also known as molecular chaperones, are highly
conserved and present in all living organisms and play vital roles in protein fate. The …

Background Nowadays artificial light highly increases human exposure to light leading to
circadian rhythm and sleep perturbations. Moreover, excessive exposure of ocular structures …
