Stress-induced recruitment of small heat shock protein 1 at the outer mitochondrial membrane underlies resistance to apoptosis
Findings indicate that HSPBs, particularly HSPB1 may contribute to mitochondrial stress adaptation prior to Cytochrome c release, which may underlie the modulation of stress-related and degenerative disease progression and contribute to the chemoresistance associated with cancer, which have been attributed to HSPBs.
