Traditionally, both stress and depression have been associated with impaired immune
function and increased susceptibility to infectious and neoplastic disease. However over the …

Abstract Heat‐shock proteins (HSPs), or stress proteins, are highly conserved and present in
all organisms and in all cells of all organisms. Selected HSPs, also known as chaperones …

In the eukaryotic cell an intrinsic mechanism is present providing the ability to defend itself
against external stressors from various sources. This defense mechanism probably evolved …

Introduction Fever is frequently observed in critically ill patients. An independent association
of fever with increased mortality has been observed in non-neurological critically ill patients …

The effects of physiologically relevant increase in temperature (37–41° C) on intestinal
epithelial tight junction (TJ) barrier have not been previously studied. Additionally, the role of …

The eukaryotic cell depends on multitiered homeostatic systems ensuring maintenance of
proteostasis, organellar integrity, function and turnover, and overall cellular viability. At the …

The cellular stress response (SR) is a phylogenetically conserved protection mechanism
that involves inhibition of protein synthesis through recruitment of translation factors such as …
