SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The book Heat Shock Proteins in Veterinary Medicine and Sciences provides the most comprehensive review on contemporary knowledge on the role of heat shock proteins in veterinary medicine and sciences. Using an integrative approach to understanding heat shock protein physiology, the contributors provide a synopsis of novel mechanisms by which HSP are involved in the regulation of normal physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Key basic and clinical research laboratories from major universities and veterinary hospitals around the world contribute chapters that review present research activity and importantly project the field into the future. The book is a must read for veterinary doctors, researchers, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students in the fields of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Physiology, Animal Husbandry, Biotechnology, Molecular Medicine, Microbiology and Pathology.
