Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are antigen-presenting proteinaggregation-preventing chaperones, induced by cellular stress in eukaryotic cells. In this review, we focus on recent HSP advances in neurological disorders. In myasthenia gravis, patients responding to immunosuppressive therapy have reduced serum HSP-71 antibodies. Generalized and ocular myasthenia gravis patients have elevated serum HSP...

Henöch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) merupakan kondisi vaskulitis pembuluh darah kecil yang paling sering terjadi pada anak, dengan insidensi 10-20 kasus per 100.000 anak setiap tahunnya. Lebih dari 90% pasien berusia dibawah 10 tahun usia rata-rata 6 tahun. Penyakit ini ditandai lesi kulit spesifik berupa purpura nontrombositopenik, artritis, nyeri abdomen dan perdarahan saluran cerna, serta dapat p...

Mammalian cells constitutively express a cytosolic and nuclear form of heat shock protein (hsp) 70, referred to here as hsp 73. In response to heat shock or other metabolic insults, increased expression of another cytosolic and nuclear form of hsp 70, hsp 72, is observed. The constitutively expressed hsp 73, and stress-inducible hsp 72, are highly related proteins. Still unclear, however, is ex...

This article is also accessible online at: http://BioMedNet.com/karger Dear Sir, Atherosclerosis is one of the most significant yet unresolved problems in patients on regular hemodialysis (HD) with major impact on morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. A number of risk factors associated with the development of atherosclerosis in HD patients have been identified, such...
