The IXth CSSI international symposium on heat shock proteins in biology and medicine: stress responses in health and disease : Alexandria Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia, November 10-13, 2018.

ABSTRACT: The stress response has been studied now for over 50 years and is known to have significance in the survival of organisms in a challenging environment and in the healthy development of all known descendants of the last common universal ancestor (LUCA). This meeting was concentrated mostly on the responses of cells and organisms to environmental and cell stress including the impact of thermal stress, which was a major theme throughout this meeting. One emphasis was on the deployment of the heat shock response that permits damage to proteins to be detected and responded to by the abundant synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs). Speakers and presenters of posters responded to the questions of how are the HSPs rapidly induced by stressors? By which mechanisms are they are regulated in the cel
