Abstract excerpt
This work was aimed at testing the hypothesis (hitherto supported only by indirect evidence) that, besides contributing to resistance to stress, the small heat-shock-protein HSP27 might be involved in the control of growth and differentiation in mammary-tumour cells, where it is known to be oestrogen-regulated. Therefore, MCF-7 cells were transfected with a modulatable human hsp27 anti-sense cDNA. Clones of...
