Heat Shock Proteins and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are evolutionarily conserved molecules and play important roles in fundamental cellular processes. They serve as molecular chaperones and hence provide a protective function in ensuring cell survival and repair of cellular damage after a stressful stimulus. This paper summ...
