Does hyperthermia induce heat shock protein expression and protection against cerulein-induced pancreatitis in rats?
A causal relation between hyperthermia-induced HSP expression and organ protection seems possible.
We demonstrated the functional tissue specific implication of IGF1 on fetal lung development in mice. Results revealed novel target genes and gene networks mediators of IGF1 action on pulmonary cellular proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and immunity, and on vascular and distal epithelium maturation during prenatal lung development.
