The Immunology of Cellular Stress Proteins

then, the research in the immunology of stress proteins started to comprise a widening spectrum of topics with potential medical relevance. Interestingly, since stress proteins have their activities in both innate and adaptive immunity, they are key elements in the cross-roads between both arms of the immune system. Stress proteins or HSP can be considered as functional “biomarkers” of inflamma...

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of P53 and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Proteins Expression Levels in Gingival Tissue of Opium-dependent Patients

Background: Although evidence indicates that tobacco use is one of the risk factors for oral cancer, the relationship between opium addiction and oral cancer has not yet been evaluated. The present study was performed aiming to evaluate P53 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in the gingival tissue of opium-dependent patients.Methods: 102 individuals (70 men and 32 women) wer...

Circularly-polarized Second-harmonic Microscopy of Fibrous Proteins

Collagens are the most abundant proteins in mammals, especially found in flesh and fibrous tissues. In total, 28 types of collagen are known of which type I is the most common. Structurally, a single type I collagen consists of three intertwined chiral -helixes coiled together, which self-assemble to form microfibrils and even larger fibril aggregates. Due to this supramolecular ordering, fibr...
