摘要
The heat shock response is a general homeostatic mechanism that protects cells and the entire organism from the deleterious effects of environmental stress. It has been shown that heat shock proteins play major roles in many cellular processes and have a unique role in several areas of cell biology, from chronic degenerative diseases to immunology and from cancer research to interactions between host and parasite. In this review, Bruno Maresca and Luisella Carratu deal with some of the unique characteristics of the heat shock response in parasitic organisms.
