Book Synopsis Stress-Inducible Cellular Responses by : U. Feige

Download or read book Stress-Inducible Cellular Responses written by U. Feige and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will deal with heat shock proteins and more generally with stress-related inducible gene expression as a pleiotropic adaptive response to stress. It presents a textbook-like overview of the field not only to heat shock experts, but to physiologists, pharmacologists, physicians, neuropsychologists and others as well. It is intended to be a state-of-the-art and perspective book rather than an up-to-date presentation of recent data. It should provide a basis for new experimetal approaches to fields at the edge of the classical heat shock field. Drugs, UV irradiation and environmental toxics will be considered as important modulators of the stress response. Radical scavengers such as superoxide dismutases and inducible regulatory proteins of metallic ion status such as ferritin as well as immunophilins and protein disulfide isomerases will be considered within the frame of stress proteins. The potential practical applications of heat shock proteins in toxicology and medicine for the diagnosis, prognosis and eventually therapy of clinical conditions associated with an increased oxidative burden will be outlined. The role of heat shock proteins in the modulation of immune responses will also be included. The book considers heat shock from a broad perspective including fields for which heat-shock may become of importance in the very near future such as cellular responses to environmental stresses and complex stress responses under specific conditions. It was also felt timely to incorporate a whole section on medical and technological applications of stress proteins. The book will be invaluable for all those working on stress and is intended for every "stress laboratory" as a source of knowledge and perspectives.
