Expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) has been shown to protect mammalian cells exposed to a variety of stress stimuli. Among various HSPs, small HSPs from diverse species were shown to protect cells against oxidative stress. Here, we show that the overexpression of the mouse small hsp gene, hsp2

## Abstract Selfβrenewal and differentiation of stem cells are tightly regulated processes subject to intrinsic and extrinsic signals. Molecular chaperones and coβchaperones, especially heat shock proteins (Hsp), are ubiquitous molecules involved in the modulation of protein conformational and comp
We employed whole-mount in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to study the spatial pattern of hsp30 gene expression in normal and heatshocked embryos during Xenopus laevis development. Our findings revealed that hsp30 mRNA accumulation was present constitutively only in the cement gland of
Bacterial heat shock proteins (Hsps) are abundantly produced during the course of most microbial infections and are often targeted by the mammalian immune response. While Hsps have been well characterized for their roles in protein folding and secretion activities, little attention has been given to
