Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved proteins that are induced by a variety of stresses. HSP70 is a 70-kDa HSP family known to have cytoprotective effects against various insults. The role of HSP70 in cerebral ischemia remains to be elucidated in vivo. METHODS: To investigate the effect of reduced HSP70 levels on cerebral ischemia, focal cerebral ischemia by intraluminal...
