What constitutes a shock these days?
Health shocks constitute a sudden deterioration in the state of an individual's health, caused by an illness and/or injury.
Natural heat shock promoters constitute a simple inducible misexpression system, the main disadvantage is a high background level of expression.
A decrease in the total metabolic rate of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock can constitute a prognostic indicator of heightened death risk in this group of ICU-treated patients.
A demand model that allows for such exogenous demand shocks would constitute a good extension of the decision model.
Dear Editor, Heat shock factors (HSFs) constitute a transcription factor family playing regulatory roles in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis or mediating cell differentiation and development (Akerfelt et al., 2010, Bjork and Sistonen 2010, Westerheide et al., 2012).
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) constitute a large group of chaperone proteins found in virtually all organisms.
Heat-shock proteins (Hsps) constitute a major class of stress-response proteins that mainly assist in protein refolding under stress conditions.
Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) constitute a class of molecular chaperones that, under normal conditions, facilitate protein folding and regulate the turnover of proteins involved in cell growth and survival.
These findings are of particular importance for the patient with septic shock, where they might constitute a mechanism of pathogenesis.
