What's in a name?: Heat shock protein 27 and keratinocyte differentiation.
In this issue of the Journal, Robitaille and colleagues present data supporting a role for the small heat shock protein (HSP) 27 in keratinocyte terminal differentiation. This adds to the growing literature implicating HSP27 as a regulator of biologic function beyond thermal stress response.
